Arshad Nadeem Brings Home Another Record Breaking Gold For Pakistan!
Pakistan’s favorite javelin thrower, Arshad Nadeem from Mian Channu, brought home a record-breaking win in Commonwealth Games 2022 Birmingham!
Are we surprised anymore?!
One of the major topics of discussion all across the globe, the Commonwealth Games 2022, are currently happening in Birmingham. And man oh man, are Pakistanis interested in them! How can they not be?! Pakistan’s athletes have been bagging wins left and right. Pakistanis have managed to conquer almost all of the games; from swimming to weightlifting and finally javelin throw, you name it! This time, Pakistanis have definitely engraved a mark in Commonwealth’s history that is not going away anytime soon.
After a beautiful victory in weightlifting by Nooh Dastagir Butt, Arshad Nadeem has decided that he is no less. Pakistan’s favorite athlete, Arshad Nadeem, scored a RECORD-BREAKING throw at the CW games! Arshad Nadeem threw a whopping 90.18m throw at the games and became the FIRST South Asian to do so. He also broke the CW games record of 88.75m by South African Marius Corbett that stood since 1998. Moreover, he became only the second Asian to cross that mark after Taiwan’s Chao-Tsun Cheng (91.36m). How CRAZY is that?! Record after record!
What a superb performance from Arshad Nadeem!
He earns Pakistan their first track and field Gold after 60 years 🥇🥇, setting precedence with a new Games record.

How AMAZING is this picture alone?! A great capture of emotions!
We cannot imagine how proud his family must be feeling right at this moment. Having a family member grow up to represent your country in a positive light is definitely a different kind of pride. People on twitter have been sharing the picture of Arshad Nadeem’s family watching their son score big on TV. The members are all praying together for their youngin to make the Nation proud. Check out this extremely wholesome image.

This perfectly sums up desi families!
If you thought this is all that is there by Nadeem to impress you then you are wrong. The 25-year old javelin thrower beat all odds during the game. He was able to achieve all of this despite his heavily injured elbow. He had it heavily taped during the game to help give him support. In addition, Nadeem did this without his coach this time. Arshad Nadeem is the only one among his counterparts who is without a sponsor. Can you imagine how he is his own coach and sponsor?! This man is a gem! These limited sponsors are being discussed by twitter users and according to them he needs to have sponsors ASAP.
Arshad Nadeem had no sponsor while other backed by NIKE & PUMA 💔
Look, he achieved everything on his own. #ArshadNadeem pic.twitter.com/2N8ES8wD8T

Pakistan’s renowned cricketer and cricket prodigy, Shahid Afridi, took to twitter to express his pride and congratulate his “superhero” on this insane win. Pakistan’s current skipper, Babar Azam, also could not stop himself from congratulating Nadeem on twitter. Moreover, his peers and well known cricketers, Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi, also took to twitter to pen down heartwarming congratulatory wishes for Nadeem.
