“Gold snatched from Neeraj” - Netizens react as Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem breaks Olympic record with 92.97m throw in Paris 2024 Olympics

Pakistan’s star athlete Arshad Nadeem shocked the world with a massive 92.97 metres throw in the men’s javelin throw final round at the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympics. Nadeem’s effort at the Stade de France on Thursday has created a new Olympic record, beating the previous record of 90.57m held by Andreas Thordkilsen of Norway.

Netizens rushed to social media to express their amazement at Arshad’s efforts, who broke several world records with his massive effort in the final game for the men’s javelin throw event. One fan wrote on the social media X:

“Arshad Nadeem- new Olympic record. Gold snatched from Neeraj.”

“HOLY SHITTTTT ARSHAD NADEEEEEEEEM 92.97 HIS BESTTTTT EVERRR,” one amazed fan posted.

“That's how you make a comeback. That's how you announce that you're here to play. Arshad Nadeem has actually broken his personal best record in an Olympics final. You can't tell how mad this is. I haven't seen anything like this in history of Pakistan. You're a king,” one fan wrote.

Fans from all corners expressed their shock and awe at the historic effort by Arshad, with one writing:

“Unyakeenable Arshad Nadeem.”
“Arshad Nadeem is out of syllabus,” another fan humorously posted.
“BELIEVE ME IT'S BIGGER THAN T20 WORLD CUP! ARSHAD NADEEM! TAKE A BOW!” another fan wrote.

Arshad Nadeem goes to top of the table with record-making throw in Paris 2024

Arshad Nadeem’s massive 92.97m throw has not only etched his name in the history books, but has also propelled him to the top of the table in the crucial final match of the men’s javelin throw event.

Nadeem’s 92.97m has put him in the first position, comfortably ahead of India’s Neeraj Chopra, whose best throw has been 89.45m so far. It will be interesting to see if Neeraj can overcome Arshad’s milestone effort, as the Indian athlete has never broken the 90-metre barrier in his career yet.

After fouling in his first throw, Arshad would be extremely happy with his follow-up effort, which has put him in serious contention of winning Pakistan’s first-ever Olympic gold medal.
