ISLAMABAD: Pakistani javelin ace Arshad Nadeem on Wednesday won gold medal in the men’s javelin throw at the Islamic Solidarity Games 2025 in Riyadh.
Nadeem, who is the reigning Olympic champion, logged the best throw of 83.05 meters from six attempts in a seven-man field.
The Pakistani javelin ace said he was grateful to achieve the feat.
“Alhamdulillah, grateful to bring home another gold for Pakistan,” Nadeem said in an X post on Thursday. “Still working hard to get back to 100 percent after surgery, but the hunger to win remains! More to come in the next tournaments, Insha’Allah!“
Nadeem underwent a procedural muscle surgery in Cambridge, UK in July, which marked a crucial step in his recovery from a calf muscle injury that forced him to withdraw from an international event in Switzerland this year, according to Pakistani media reports.
