Arshad Nadeem won the first medal for Pakistan in Paris Olympics 2024. Arshad Nadeem defeated Neeraj Chopra in the final of the men's javelin throw event. Let us tell you, Pakistan has been participating in the Olympics since 1948. But Pakistan had not won any medal since the 1992 Olympics, this time Arshad Nadeem ended this long wait. With this gold medal by Arshad, India has also got a big shock in the medal tally.

Pakistan overtook India in medal tally

India has won 5 medals in Paris Olympics so far, which includes 1 silver and 4 bronze medals. This time India has not won a single gold medal. On the other hand, Pakistan has got only 1 gold medal so far. But the ranking of the medal tally in Olympics is decided according to the gold medals. That is, the one who has more gold medals is at the top in the medal tally, after this silver and then bronze medals are considered.

In such a situation, Pakistan has come at number 53 in the medal tally of Paris Olympics with one gold medal. Whereas, India is at number 64 with 5 medals. India now has very little hope of winning the gold medal. If India does not get the gold medal in Paris Olympics, then Pakistan will remain ahead of India in the medal tally. Let us tell you, this is the first time after 1984 that Pakistan has won the gold medal.
