Arshad Nadeem, Pakistan’s new sporting hero, has taken the nation by storm after his record-breaking javelin throw at the Paris Olympics.
This monumental achievement has turned Nadeem into a national icon overnight, and now, he’s basking in the glow of unprecedented success and recognition.
For a country starved of Olympic glory, Nadeem’s win is nothing short of miraculous.
His story—from humble beginnings as the son of a daily wage laborer to standing tall as an Olympic champion—has inspired millions and cemented his place in Pakistan’s sporting history. And naturally, the rewards are pouring in from all directions, with everyone wanting to honor this national treasure.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif kicked things off by announcing a jaw-dropping 150 million rupees ($538,000) reward at a special ceremony in Islamabad. Not to be outdone, Punjab’s Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz personally visited Nadeem’s home in the Mian Channu district, bringing with her 100 million rupees ($359,000)
Nadeem’s coach, Salman Iqbal Butt, who played a crucial role in guiding him to victory, also received 5 million rupees ($18,000) for his efforts. Because behind every champion is a great coach, right?
But the celebrations didn’t stop there. Sindh’s Chief Minister tossed in another 50 million rupees, while Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab promised to build the Arshad Nadeem Athletics Academy to nurture the next generation of sports stars.
Talk about never having to worry about gas prices again!
There’s also more cash rolling in: 50,000 USD from World Athletics, 5 million from UBL Pakistan, 1 million each from singer Ali Zafar and cricketer Ahmad Shahzad, and countless others. Even Maulana Tariq Jameel got in on the action with 5 lakh, while Abrar ul Haq pitched in 15 lakh.
Nadeem is also set to receive the Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Pakistan’s highest civil award, while a sports city is being planned in his hometown by none other than Maryam Nawaz herself.
