The Paris Olympics javelin champion received a hero's welcome upon returning to Pakistan

The Pakistani javelin athlete became a big star after returning home with the gold medal.

On August 10, in the men's javelin final of the Paris Olympics, Pakistani athlete Arshad Nadeem threw a distance of 92.97 meters. Not only did he break the Olympic record that had stood for 16 years, but also won the first Olympic gold medal for Pakistan in the track and field event. The previous champion of this event, Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra, unfortunately won the silver medal with a throw of 89.45 meters and failed to defend his title.

Nadeem's victory has sparked enthusiastic responses in Pakistan. When he returned home, the airport was crowded with passionate people, and the scene was very lively. When the plane landed, it also received the "water salute" symbolizing the highest respect. There were military and police escorts along the way to ensure safety. People held national flags, shouted slogans, looked forward to seeing the hero with their own eyes, and recorded precious moments with him using their mobile phones.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also congratulated on social media: "This is a creation of history! Nadeem, you have become Pakistan's first Olympic gold medalist in the men's javelin. Your achievement shines in Paris. Young hero, you have made the entire Pakistan proud of you!"

Nadeem's gold medal is not only his personal glory but also brings great pride and inspiration to the entire country. It has stimulated national unity and excitement. It has even eased the domestic tension to a certain extent, demonstrating the power of the Olympic spirit and the unique charm of sports that transcend borders and unite people's hearts.

Nadeem's success was hard-won. Despite limited resources, poor training conditions, and even having to compete at his own expense, he overcame numerous difficulties with his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts to create history.
