Arshad Nadeem made history on Saturday by winning gold in javelin throw at the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships. His victory marks Pakistan’s first gold medal at the event since 1973.
A Historic Throw: Nadeem secured the top spot with a throw of 86.40 meters. He outperformed India’s Sachin Yadav (85.16m) and Japan’s Yuta Sakiyama (83.75m). The last time Pakistan won gold at the Asian Athletics was through Allah Dada (javelin) and Muhammad Younis (800m) in the Philippines.
