Arshad Nadeem goes to top of the table with record-making throw in Paris 2024

Arshad Nadeem’s massive 92.97m throw has not only etched his name in the history books, but has also propelled him to the top of the table in the crucial final match of the men’s javelin throw event.

Nadeem’s 92.97m has put him in the first position, comfortably ahead of India’s Neeraj Chopra, whose best throw has been 89.45m so far. It will be interesting to see if Neeraj can overcome Arshad’s milestone effort, as the Indian athlete has never broken the 90-metre barrier in his career yet.

After fouling in his first throw, Arshad would be extremely happy with his follow-up effort, which has put him in serious contention of winning Pakistan’s first-ever Olympic gold medal.
