Arshad Nadeem, Pakistan’s only hope for a Gold medal at the Paris Olympics, is all set to take on Indian Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra.
Neeraj Chopra has always been a problematic opponent for Arshad, with a perfect record of 9-0. However, it’s important to note that Arshad won the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold in Birmingham with a massive throw of 90.18 meters, which is better than Neeraj’s personal best at any javelin event.
Fans will have to wait two days to find out, as both arc rivals will compete on August 6th in the qualifying rounds. The event will start at 1:20 PM (PST), with Group B starting at 2:50 PM (PST). If both qualify, they will go for the medals in the final on August 8th, which begins at 11:25 PM (PST).
Arshad Nadeem made history in the last Olympics by reaching an Olympic athletics final but finished fifth. This time, he could be Neeraj Chopra’s biggest competitor.
