Javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem, Pakistan’s only hope for a medal, proudly lead the country’s delegation at the Paris Olympics 2024. He recently got a chance to train in South Africa for a few weeks, after practicing most of the time at the Punjab Stadium in Lahore. Due to this, he had to undergo surgery on his knee in London.
Arshad won gold in the Commonwealth Games and silver in the World Athletics Championship, which was Pakistan’s first medal in the championship’s history.
Pakistan has not won a medal in the Olympics in athletics until now. Kishmala Talat will participate in the shooting event. The 21-year-old, who started shooting as a hobby at 13, will try to become Pakistan’s first woman to win a medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
Pakistan’s hockey team has missed the Olympics for the third time. This is the third consecutive Olympics in which the team has not participated. They last participated in the 2012 London Olympics, in which they finished seventh.
