Lahore:
Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem won the gold medal with a record-breaking throw of 92.97 meters in the javelin final at the Paris Olympics.
Next was India’s Neeraj Chopra who finished 2nd with a distance of 89.45 and won the silver medal.
With this, Arshad Nadeem became the first Pakistani player to win an individual gold medal in Olympic history. With this one gold medal, Pakistan took the 62nd place in the Olympic medal scoring.
Pakistan’s Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced a prize of Rs 10 crore to gold winner Arshad Nadeem. He said that a sports city will be established in Khanewal, Nadeem’s hometown, in his name.
Meanwhile, his father-in-law, Mohammad Nawaz, presented Arshad Nadeem with a gold buffalo at the Paris Olympics. In their village the buffalo is considered valuable and honourable.
Nadeem is married to Nawaz’s daughter Ayesha. The couple has 2 sons and a daughter.
In this case, 5 or 6 acres of land can be given as a gift instead of a buffalo. Well, buffalo is fine. By the grace of God he is quite well off. So he gave me a buffalo. He said that he deserves to be respected.
