Pakistan’s javelin star, Arshad Nadeem, has made the country proud once again by securing his place in the final round of the men’s javelin throw at the Asian Athletics Championships 2025. All eyes are now on the final — can Arshad bring home another medal for Pakistan?

  • Arshad Nadeem qualifies for the javelin final with a throw of 86.34 meters on his first attempt.

  • Fellow Pakistani athlete Muhammad Yasir also qualifies with a 76.70-meter throw.

  • The final is scheduled for May 31, 2025, in Gumi, South Korea.

  • This is Arshad’s first major event since winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a throw of 92.97 meters.

  • The event is part of the 26th Asian Athletics Championships, running from May 27 to 31.

Arshad Nadeem’s journey from a small town in Punjab to becoming one of the world’s best javelin throwers is nothing short of inspirational.

  • He is Pakistan’s first-ever Olympic gold medalist in athletics.

  • Arshad made global headlines after his historic 92.97m throw at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

  • Known for his strength, focus, and consistent performance, Arshad has become a national icon in sports.

In this year’s Asian Athletics Championships, he wasted no time making his mark. On his very first attempt, he threw 86.34 meters, instantly booking his place in the final.

It wasn’t just Arshad who brought joy to Pakistani fans. Muhammad Yasir, another promising javelin thrower from Pakistan, qualified from Group B with a solid throw of 76.70 meters. His qualification means:

  • Pakistan has two finalists in the same event — a rare and proud moment.

  • It shows that Pakistan’s athletics program is growing, with more athletes reaching the international stage.

  • If Arshad maintains his current form, he is a strong favorite for gold.
