There was a great competition between Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem in the men's javelin throw event of Paris Olympics. Arshad won the gold medal while Neeraj won the silver medal. No other player could come close to these two stars.

India's Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem gave a strong performance in the men's javelin throw event of Paris Olympics. Arshad Nadeem won the gold medal by setting an Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 meters. At the same time, Neeraj won the silver medal by doing a breast throw of 89.45 meters. These two players are considered very good friends of each other.

Something similar was seen even after the match. However, Arshad Nadeem said something during this time which is now becoming very viral.

Arshad Nadeem is not happy even after setting an Olympic record!

Arshad Nadeem, while talking to Geo Cinema after this historic performance, said, 'I am very happy. Out of the hundreds of countries that participated, Pakistan and India performed well. Neeraj won the gold medal at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest and it was a golden moment for me. Our friendship is very strong and I want it to continue for a long time.

Then Arshad Nadeem was asked about his Olympic record throw. In response to this, he said, 'I have seen it many times and I think I can do even better than this. I hope that one day I will be able to demonstrate this ability of mine. Somewhere Arshad Nadeem was expecting a better throw than this.

Will there be a cricket-like competition in javelin throw?

On the other hand, when Neeraj Chopra was asked if the success of both will make athletics popular in both India and Pakistan, he said, 'It has already grown a lot. We are already seeing more talented javelin throwers in India. The same is happening in Pakistan. When we went to the Asian Games last year, Arshad could not participate due to a knee injury, Yasir Sultan, who came to play in his place, threw very well.

Arshad's medal will inspire more children, which is great.

On being asked if the India-Pakistan rivalry will shift from cricket to javelin throw, Neeraj said, 'This will be possible only when we have a lot of competitions like cricket. We have two big competitions. Olympics in four years and World Championship in two years. If there were more competitions, more and more people would watch it like they watch Diamond League and some other competitions.
