Arshad Nadeem broke the Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 meters and with this he defeated India's Neeraj Chopra. Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters. By the way, the interesting thing is that even though Arshad Nadeem won the Olympic gold with a record-breaking throw, even though he defeated Neeraj Chopra, he still lost in one case. Let us tell you what is the whole game?

Arshad Nadeem was left behind in this matter

Arshad Nadeem won the gold in javelin throw with a distance of 92.97 meters and this is indeed a big thing but you will be surprised to know that many players have covered a greater distance than this.

Johannes Vetter is in second place

Johannes Vetter has thrown a throw farther than Arshad Nadeem. This player covered a distance of 97.76 meters in 2020. Not only this, in 2021, this player threw a throw of 96.29 meters. Yan Zelezny has thrown throws of 95.66 meters, 95.54 meters and 94.64 meters after this. Thomas Rohler of Germany is in third place. He threw the javelin 93.90 meters in 2017.

Nadeem's achievement is also special

By the way, Arshad Nadeem's achievement is very special because he has made an Olympic record in his name. He has become the first player to win a gold medal in an individual event for Pakistan. Pakistan has won only 3 individual medals so far. Arshad Nadeem has definitely become the biggest Olympian in Pakistani history, which is a big achievement.
