Pakistan’s national hero Arshad Nadeem has made all Pakistanis proud by winning a gold medal with a remarkable record javelin throw in the ongoing Paris Olympics.

The deputy commissioner (DC) of Khanewal, Arshad’s hometown, says the son of the soil will be accorded a grand welcome by the district administration upon his return. “This is a great achievement of Arshad Nadeem. He has made Pakistan proud in Paris,” the DC said.

On the other hand, celebrations continue at the residence of Olympian Arshad Nadeem. His former coach, Rasheed Ahmed Saqi, says Mian Channu is a very fertile area. There is a lot of talent in Mian Channu and if the younger generation focuses on other sports than cricket, they can make the country prouder.
