Arshad Nadeem honoured with prestigious award
Pakistan's star javelin thrower and Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem has been awarded yet another major international honour. The Asian Athletics Association has named him the Best Asian Athlete, recognizing his outstanding performance and contributions to athletics.
Arshad made history at the Paris Olympics last year by delivering the longest throw in Olympic javelin history, earning Pakistan its first-ever Olympic gold in the sport. His victory not only brought pride to the nation but also established him as a true icon in the global athletics community.
The prestigious award was presented to Arshad Nadeem following a meeting of the Asian Athletics Association held in South Korea. The meeting was attended by prominent officials, including the Chairman of South Asian Athletics, Major General (R) Muhammad Akram Sahi, President of the Athletics Federation of Pakistan Brigadier (R) Wajahat Hussain Sahi, Secretary Colonel (R) Shah Jehan, and Arshad's coach Salman Butt.
Arshad Nadeem will be representing Pakistan in the upcoming Asian Athletics Championship in South Korea. This will be his first international competition since his historic win at the Paris Olympics, and fans eagerly await his return to action.
