Federal Minister for information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry is also rooting for Nadeem.

 

A fan tweeted that she has been praying for Nadeem’s victory since last night and yearned that the javelin thrower would end Pakistan’s 29 years old Olympic medal drought.

Some claimed that it does not matter if he wins or not, he has already made the nation proud, though winning one would be the icing on the cake.
