Pakistani cricket stars, celebrities and political leaders were all praises for Arshad Nadeem on Wednesday after he qualified for the final of the men’s javelin at the Tokyo Olympics with a throw of 85.16 metres.

Arshad Nadeem is the first-ever Pakistani athlete to pass for the final of any field event in the Olympics.

He was placed in group B for the competition in which the athlete had to throw a minimum of 83.5m to directly qualify for the final.

In his first attempt, the 24-year-old athlete could reach the 78.5m mark but in the second attempt, Arshad broke records with a throw of 85.16m that also placed him on top of group B.

This was overall the third-best throw in the contest after India’s Neeraj Chopra (86.65m) and Germany’s Johannes Vetter (85.64m).
