Arshad Nadeem: 92.97. The farthest javelin ever thrown by an Asian. You might be familiar with Nadeem if you have been watching the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Pakistani threw his javelin like a mediaeval war hero and secured his country's first and only Gold medal in the Olympics. He also broke a slew of records in the process.
From Mian Channui, a nondescript town in Punjab, which is 250 km away from Lahore - Arshad Nadeem has come a long way. The son of a construction worker, he had to face a lot of hardships before he graced the big Olympic stage. Once you look past the success and glory, you will see a lot of health and wellness lessons you can take away from this top athlete.
