The Pakistani thrower sees his javelin sail past the “OR” boxes in the infield – this is a new Olympic record at 92.97m,

Pairs-Mudassar Iqbal/Webdesk-Arshad Wins Gold, Shatters Record with 92.97m Javelin Throw,In a spectacular display of athletic prowess, Nadeem has set a new Olympic record in the javelin throw event, clinching the gold medal with a remarkable 92.97m throw. This achievement surpasses the previous record and cements Nadeem’s position as one of the greatest athletes in the sport.

With this outstanding performance, Nadeem has not only won the top honor but also etched his name in the annals of Olympic history. The crowd erupted in cheers as Nadeem’s record-breaking throw was announced, marking a momentous occasion for the athlete and his fans.

Nadeem’s gold medal win and record-breaking feat are a testament to his dedication, hard work, and exceptional talent. This achievement will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of athletes and solidify Nadeem’s legacy as a champion in the world of sports.

Down to the top four in the men’s javelin throw final. Czechia’s Jakub Vadlejch needs to find 4cm to move into the medals, but his last attempt won’t be enough.

Anderson Peters, Neeraj Chopra, and Arshad Nadeem sit in the bronze, silver, and gold medal positions. Will that order change?

If anyone is to take down Arshad Nadeem at the top, they will need to throw an Olympic record.

It won’t be Peters, who’s short of 85m on his last throw and wins bronze on a best effort of 88.54m.

Defending champion Neeraj has never cracked 90m in his career. Can he finally do so here?

Not this time. That’s going to be short too, and that ends his reign as the current Olympic champion with a best throw of 89.45m. It’ll be his friend from across the border, Arshad, who will replace him as the champion, keeping the gold medal in Asia.

That’s another massive throw from Arshad! Is that further than 92.97m from earlier? Definitely over 90… it’s not, quite, but Arshad is still the new Olympic champion and Olympic record holder!

Pakistan javelin ace Arshad Nadeem achieved the feat by winning a gold medal for Pakistan in the final quest of the Paris Olympics 2024 on Thursday besides breaking the previous Olympic record with a 92.97-metre throw.
