Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem made history by winning gold at the Paris Olympics 2024 with an impressive throw of 92.97 meters in the javelin final on Friday.
Although his first attempt was a foul, his second throw set a new Olympic record and earned him the gold medal. Neeraj Chopra, the Tokyo Games gold medalist, was close behind with a throw of 89.45 meters, taking the silver. Nadeem’s victory was a significant milestone for Pakistan, as it marked the country’s first-ever track and field medal at the Olympics and ended a 32-year medal drought.
Pakistani fans were thrilled by their countryman’s success and celebrated his win with excitement and memes on social media.
After Pakistan’s poor performance in the Cricket World Cup 2024, Pakistani fans felt better when Nadeem’s gold win cheered them up.
