[VIDEOS/PICTURES] Arshad Nadeem - Pakistan's Javelin Throw star wins the first Gold Medal for Pakistan after 40 years in Paris Olympics 2024

[IAJ]

Don’t celebrate too early

Chopra is a beast too. He can produce something extraordinary

Yes, everything can happen, need to stay humble.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

3 more attempts of all athletes left

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Lol neeraj chopra. Hahahah he is trying his best but arshad just broke 1 billion people's heart.

Chopra is a good guy who remains humble when he wins and supportive of Arshad Nadeem

 

[Croma]

CHopra has never thrown 90+ (as far as I know). Gold is safe with Pakistan

 

[IAJ]

CHopra has never thrown 90+ (as far as I know). Gold is safe with Pakistan

He has.

 

[Varun]

We only get bronze and the one time we are likely to get silver, the gold is taken by a Pakistani with their first ever Olympic medal in 32 years.

Congrats to Nadeem. He looks a bit like Waqar Younis.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

He has.

nopes

 

[RexRex]

Be humble and don't underestimate the opponent. I have seen way too many videos of athletes and people celebrating early. LOL.

Nope, you should pop the champagne already.

90+ is extremely rare in Javelin in the modern era.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Dude.... no one throws 90 mts after 3 throws, players gets exhausted. It's confirmed gold

I hope you are right but I never ever celebrate early, sport can produce the craziest of things

I do hope Chopra can finish 2nd though

Him and Arshad are great to watch together

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Apparently Anderson is ahead of him in all time throws, so it's not over until it's over.

 

[Rana]

CHopra has never thrown 90+ (as far as I know). Gold is safe with Pakistan

But he hit close to 90 once pushed by Nadeem

It’s one freak throw for him

 

[IAJ]

nopes

Yaar 89,94~ 90

 

[Rana]

That throw by Nadeem feels so miraculous, as if God heard the prayers of 200m+ Pakistanis and made him produce a throw of a lifetime!

 

[Human786]

superb Nadeem - what a throw

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

I am not jinxing , gold is taken in javelin. Fight is only between silver and bronze.

No one can throw 93 after 3 attempts

 

[DeadlyVenom]

on eurosport they are showing womens long jump now. anyway just to watch javelin?

 

[KingKhanWC]

That throw by Nadeem feels so miraculous, as if God heard the prayers of 200m+ Pakistanis and made him produce a throw of a lifetime!

His technique is clearly the best , smooth release at great speed , at a perfect angle. But yes everything clicked in one throw , Olympic record is next level throwing these days

 

[kingusama92]

Wow Arshad with the Olympic record is something special. What a performance.

 

[KingKhanWC]

on eurosport they are showing womens long jump now. anyway just to watch javelin?

They all have one live footage given , they mix it up . Prob now show the last 2 rounds

Bro it’s one freak throw. It’s possible

 

[DeadlyVenom]

hope so . the commentary online said chopra made a deliberate foul. What does that mean? @AamchiMumbaikar do you know?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Neeraj Chopra 4th attempt failed

 

[Rana]

Nadeem averaging 86ish around this time but produced a 93m throw form out of nowhere. All other competitors are probably averaging 87+

It’s never over

 

[Rana]

Neeraj Chopra 4th attempt failed

He looked broken in his second attempt. I think the Nadeem throw before deflated him massively

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

hope so . the commentary online said chopra made a deliberate foul. What does that mean? @AamchiMumbaikar do you know?

He stepped out as his throw was poor, did not want to get that on record.

 

[Rana]

Bollywood Movie upcoming

Hrithik Roshan as Neeraj
Tiger Schroff as Nadeem

where are you watching?

 

[RexRex]

Bro it’s one freak throw. It’s possible

Whoever wins gets Kashmir. Or Bangladesh.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Nadeem threw 80 just now. After 4 attempts or so you get exhausted.

It is 1 freak throw and nadeem got that today. You can call it prayers or hard work or both. He may never win another medal for his life. But I guess he has done his job for athletics in pak. Can youngsters follow him or it will remain as a freak medal by 1 player time will tell.

 

[KingKhanWC]

hope so . the commentary online said chopra made a deliberate foul. What does that mean? @AamchiMumbaikar do you know?

When they know it’s poor they step over but shows struggling with form .

Imo when chasing such a big distance the extra effort can mess it up . Sliver and bronze to play for i

It wasn’t a fluke , perfect throw . Depending on conditions he can go near 95 imo . Olympic record, you’re one of the goats of javelin .

He should be the next PCB chairman

Yes. BTW, what is Nadeem's real age ? He doesn't look like a 27 year old

 

[Rana]

Exactly

The commentators were saying he was averaging 90s in Birmingham

 

[Devadwal]

Arshad Nadeem is the biggest superstar of Pakistan, more than Babar Azam on any given day.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

It wasn’t a fluke , perfect throw . Depending on conditions he can go near 95 imo . Olympic record, you’re one of the goats of javelin .

Just like pak cricket team, expect the unexpected. He is ranked below most athletes but on his day he can beat anyone as proven today!

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Chalo ab trolling will be genuine and not use proxies of China and Australia

 

[Rana]

How is there no UK, US athlete in the Javelin? It’s a major event. Strange no athletes from these countries are competing for medals

 

[KingKhanWC]

Yes. BTW, what is Nadeem's real age ? He doesn't look like a 27 year old

I believe it’s correct . Hes only getting better.

 

[Varun]

Bet Pakistanis all over are watching Chopra's fouls with popcorn.

 

[RexRex]

Chopra in meltdown, 4 fouls now.

 

[Varun]

Chopra in meltdown, 4 fouls now.

Will likely end up with Silver.

 

[Rana]

Chopra in meltdown, 4 fouls now.

Dude he was done once he saw that 92.97m throw by Nadeem

You could see it on his face.

 

[KingKhanWC]

How is there no UK, US athlete in the Javelin? It’s a major event. Strange no athletes from these countries are competing for medals

As a young child it was a huge contest between zelezny v. Brit Steve Backley, he was a hero in the uk. Athletics was taught in every school, all events apart from pole vault lol. Now it’s not common.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Nadeem made an exceptional throw that was an Olympic record. That is no fluke

Even if you remove his best throw, he be still in second place.

 

[Varun]

Nadeem made an exceptional throw that was an Olympic record. That is no fluke

Was there a gust of wind at that precise moment? Nobody else is crossing 90.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Eurosport are showing the javelin if anyone wants to see the ending of it

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Even if you remove his best throw, he be still in second place.

Yes. Its his day today.

 

[Rana]

Yeah we had great track and field athletes in our school. So it’s strange to see no British Athlete competing in this competition. The facilities here in every second school for athletics are phenomenal. How can guys like Nadeem and Chopra who come from impoverished backgrounds go so far in this competition whereas no one from UK and USA?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Arshad Nadeem so far

 

[AAli98]

Nearly played 1st class cricket

 

[The Bald Eagle]

1 attempt left for Neeraj and Arshad now.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Was there a gust of wind at that precise moment? Nobody else is crossing 90.

Does not matter. That's how javelin works. Outside factors like wind do play a part and all athletes know that. You can't control it.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Three medalists are finalized, just order remains to be seen now.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Now only top 2 can interchange, brozne is finalized

 

[RexRex]

Was there a gust of wind at that precise moment? Nobody else is crossing 90.

I suspect this is what really happened. Seriously.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Alright first gold medal for Pakistan, in don't know how many years

 

[gani999]

So its done. Gold for Nadeem and Pakistan. Well done!

This is some superb performance by the kid from Mian Channu.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Congrats guys!!

 

[Varun]

Well at least we won't be getting yet another bronze medal.

Bring on the silver!

And congrats to Nadeem and Pakistan, and whoever is getting the bronze.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

There you go two over 90, remove his top 2 and he still second.

 

[Rana]

Nadeem’s done it I think??

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Nadeem’s done it I think??

He was gold before his last throw and he has top 2 throws for the competition.

 

[RexRex]

Congratulations Nadeem

 

[OldWarHorse]

Enjoy the win guys. Well deserved.

Nadeem is special to have done with very little backing. Top athlete

Chopra did his best, coming second to that mean throw isnt the worst thing in the world

 

[Varun]

First medal for Pakistan since 1992!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Three top throws of four are his in this competition.

 

[AAli98]

Fantastic fantastic stuff.. his golds in Olympic & commonwealth games should be mentioned in the same breath at paks 92 World Cup win !!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

LEGEND!!

 

[Devadwal]

As Farid Khan say .gold and silver medal to south Asia

Joke apart congratulations to Arshed and Pakistan for winning a gold after 32 year.

That throw was best i have ever seen line in jevlin throw. Respect

 

[Buffet]

Congratualtions, what a huge moral booster for athletes in Pakistan. It's a massive ahcievement to win any medal in olympic and this one is gold medal. I remmeber him doing well earlier as well but he had a monster throw today.

Well done!

 

[Cricket Warrior]

King is at the top with two 90 meter throws!

 

[PakFan2010]

Pakistan cricket players should be embarrassed.

Arshad Nadeem has just shown how you handle pressure vs India.

 

[Bewal Express]

What an achievement. Greatest ever achievement in the Olympics by PK.

 

[OldWarHorse]

The guy bettered his PB again. That was no freak throw, he is actually that good

 

[cricketjoshila]

Congratulations to Nadeem. Massive throws.

 

[Croma]

He is only 27, He has 2 more Olympics in him

 

[pakistani pride]

Take a bow.
Fantastic performance!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What an achievement.

He has made millions happy.
