After a no-throw at the start of the competition, Arshad made an impressive comeback, making history with a new Olympic record throw that amazed the entire stadium.

Arshad broke Norwegian Thorkildsen Andreas’s 16-year-old record of 90.57 meters, set at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

After finishing fifth at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo, Arshad seized the moment three years later in Paris, His final attempt also surpassed 90 metres, but it was his second throw that secured him an Olympic record and a gold medal.

Meanwhile, President Asif Ali Zardari congratulated Pakistani athlete Arshad Nadeem on winning the Olympic gold medal, stating that Arshad Nadeem is the pride of the nation.

“Arshad Nadeem, you are the pride of the entire nation,” President Zardari said in his message to Arshad Nadeem upon winning the Gold Medal at the Paris Olympics.

President Zardari stated that Arshad Nadeem’s victory was a triumph for the entire nation. “Setting a remarkable Olympic record in the final, the record-breaking javelin throw is a significant achievement.
