Pakistani athlete Arshad Nadeem made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by becoming the first individual from Pakistan to win a gold medal.
The 27-year-old achieved this remarkable feat with a record-breaking javelin throw of 92.97 meters, setting a new Olympic record in the process.
Following his victory in the javelin throw final, a video surfaced online showing Arshad Nadeem overcome with emotion, shedding tears of joy.
The video, circulating on social media, captures the moment when Nadeem, visibly moved by his achievement, embraced former Athletics Federation Chairman Akram Sahi.
Arshad Nadeem's gold medal is Pakistan's first Olympic medal since 1992, when the national hockey team won a bronze medal at the Barcelona Olympics.
Pakistan last claimed an Olympic gold medal in 1984, also in hockey. Nadeem's historic victory marks a new chapter in Pakistan's Olympic history, bringing pride and joy to the nation.
