Arshad Nadeem: Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem, who won his nation’s first individual gold medal in the Paris Olympics in 2024, has grown to become a national hero. With an Olympic record throw of 92.97 meters, he accomplished this feat, besting Neeraj Chopra of India, who took home silver with a season-best throw of 89.45 meters.
Nadeem’s path to achievement was difficult because of the scarcity of resources in Khanewal, his rural Punjabi village. Donations from neighbors and family paid for his early competitive training and travel. He persisted and excelled in his sport in spite of these obstacles.
