LAHORE: Pakistan’s star javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem has resumed training for the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024 after returning home from South Africa.
Nadeem travelled to South Africa last month to receive training from the renowned javelin coach Terseus Liebenberg. He underwent a five-week extensive training regime at the North West University facility.
The Commonwealth Games (CWG) gold medalist is now training under his local coach, Salman Butt. The training regime includes gym training, strength sessions, and throwing sessions.
Butt is collaborating with Liebenberg to develop a comprehensive and effective training plan for Nadeem, aligning with the goal of winning the gold in the Paris Olympics.
For the unversed, besides clinching the gold medal at the CWG in 2022, Arshad Nadeem also secured the silver medal in the World Athletics Championship 2023 in Budapest.
He created history by becoming the first Pakistani to earn a medal at the World Athletics Championship.
He also earned his qualification for the Paris Olympics during the World Athletics Championship.
The automatic qualifying benchmark for the Paris Olympics was 85.50 meters, which Nadeem breached with an amazing 86.79-meter throw.
The star player also got his hands on the gold medal in the ongoing 34th National Games last year. He proved his mettle once again as he recorded the longest throw of 78.02m in his third attempt.
