Pakistan celebrates its first Olympic medal in decades as javelin hero breaks Games record

Pakistan celebrated late into the night as javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem won the country’s first-ever Olympic track and field medal. Nadeem won gold in Paris with a Games record throw of 92.97 meters. This victory marks Pakistan’s first Olympic medal in 32 years since the bronze win by the men’s field hockey team in Barcelona. People celebrated outside Nadeem’s home, and his family expressed their joy and pride. Nadeem shattered the previous Olympic record and defeated India’s Neeraj Chopra, the reigning world champion. The friendship between the top two medalists has transcended the historic animosity between Pakistan and Indian sporting teams. Nadeem’s gold medal win is a significant achievement for Pakistan and has brought joy to the nation.
