Pakistan's javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem has secured a spot in the Olympic final after a strong performance in the qualification round at the Stade de France.

Nadeem achieved a throw of 86.59 metres, placing third in Pool B. India's Neeraj Chopra leads the group with Grenada’s Anderson Peters at second place.

Nadeem has the attention of the entire nation as he seeks to end Pakistan’s 32-year Olympic medal drought.

Nadeem's journey from a humble background in Mian Channu to the Olympic stage is remarkable, but has been overshadowed by controversy surrounding the actions of the Pakistani contingent.

Despite the challenges, Nadeem remains focused on his goal of winning a medal for Pakistan.

His presence at the Olympics is a testament to his dedication and talent.
