  1. As a Pakistani-Canadian I cannot begin to express how monumental his gold medal is! Unlike Canada, the Pakistani government invests next to nothing in sporting facilities or talent development. This man won gold based on his sheer will-power, determination, strength and perseverance! Despite the scarcity of resources and the poverty he endured, Arshad Nadeem won! This man should be a source of inspiration for us all ❤ No matter how dire our circumstances are, we can all strive to become the best versions of ourselves ❤ Thank you Arshad Nadeem 👏🏽

  2. AaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaAAAAAAAA cheetah 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰(love you too boo🇨🇦)

  3. Notice how CBC intentionally did not want to mention "Pakistani" athlete due to their hate for Islam. Had this been any other non-Muslim country they would have been drooling. The double standards are endless with these European immigrants.

  4. jesus if that guy had some athletic ability and some more training he could throw it off the grid.

  5. So proud of Nadeem 🇵🇰 . Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤ I saw his performance in Tokyo 2020 and there’s huge improvement. THATS will and determination 💪

  6. Nadeem’s story is straight out of a book. Grew up in a mud hut essentially with a hard working family who couldn’t afford to even buy a javelin. So he went and made some himself out of wood and practiced with it. No fancy training facilities. Just pure dedication and then goes to the Olympics and wins the gold and breaks the record. I’m Proud Pakistani/Canadian after this win!

  7. Pakistan won a gold medal after 40 years and any medal after 32 years
    Last time Pakistan won a gold medal in 1984 when our field hockey won it
    This is the first individual gold medal for Pakistan in history
    For the first part of his career he had no one to support as my home country’s sports and athletics boards are corrupt and Government doesn’t really bother supporting athletes
    It was only after Tokyo Olympics 2021 that Arshad was recognised at national level and finally government invested on him but still it wasn’t much investment as compared to his competitors so what he has achieved is just legendary
    Hats off to this man ❤️
    Many of my friends here in 🇨🇦 are congratulating me and I am loving it 🙏🏼

  8. Congratulations to Pakistan, not only did you break the world record and win gold, he threw it so calm and easy unlike the others who tripped & fell
