Pakistan’s star athlete Arshad Nadeem is scheduled to participate in the final round of the Javelin throw event of the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 later today.
The organisers have revealed the throw order for the participants, with Arshad Nadeem set to throw at number four.
Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch will be the first one to throw, followed by Anderson Peters from Grenada and Keshorn Walcott from Trinidad.
Meanwhile, Indian star and Tokyo Olympics’ gold medalist Neeraj Chopra is slated to throw at number eight.
All 12 participants will throw three times in the first stage, after which the top eight athletes will have three more throws.
For the unversed, Arshad Nadeem qualified in the final round of the Javelin throw on Tuesday with an 86.59-meter throw in his first attempt during the qualification round.
“I want to make Pakistan proud in the Olympic Games,” Nadeem told a local news channel.
“I am optimistic about delivering a good result in the final,” he maintained while thanking fans for their support.
The final of the Javelin Throw event will be played on Thursday, August 8, at 11:25 pm Pakistan Standard Time (PST) and will be telecasted live on Pakistan’s first HD Sports Channel A Sports and will also be streamed live on ARY ZAP.
It is worth mentioning here that Arshad Nadeem is Pakistan’s last hope for a medal in the ongoing Paris Olympics as all of their remaining athletes have been knocked out of the medal race.
Pakistan last won a medal in the Olympics during the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona, however, Arshad is hopeful that he will once again bring the glory to the country.
