Pakistan’s star javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem will once again face India’s Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra today in the qualification round of the World Athletics Championship.
The event begins at 4:45 pm Pakistan time, with several top athletes in action.
The much-anticipated qualification round will see Arshad Nadeem and Neeraj Chopra back on the field after months of anticipation. Both athletes have built a strong rivalry, with fans from both sides of the border closely following their performances.
Germany’s top javelin thrower Julian Weber will also compete, adding to the excitement of the contest.
Arshad’s message to fans
Ahead of the competition, Arshad Nadeem appealed to his supporters to keep him in their prayers. His fans in Pakistan have shown overwhelming encouragement as he prepares for another high-stakes event.
The final of the javelin throw at the World Athletics Championship is scheduled for September 18. Today’s qualification round will determine who advances to that crucial stage.
This will be the first time Arshad Nadeem and Neeraj Chopra compete against each other since the brief tensions between India and Pakistan in May. Their rivalry has become symbolic, drawing attention far beyond athletics and turning their contests into must-watch events.
