Arshad Nadeem makes it to javelin finals

Pakistan needs international experienced trainers / coaches , having good history of achieving results themselves.

His run up and throw was not as good as others, meaning nothing wrong in his physical fitness but he needs guidance from experienced international professionals on how to make a good run, throw and avoid touching the line that disqualifies your throw score

Bro trust me no one is interested aside his close people and some patriots. Most people will go back to cricket. The government won't take notice, the funds are non-existent for the games.
Mark my words, 2024 Pakistan zero medals, not to lack of talent but lack of giving a $hit.

We are nearly the fifth most populated country in the world, what a waste of human resources. Our youth should be given incentives to promote sports at all levels.
The 80s and 90s were a golden era for cricket, hockey, Squash, Boxing, Wrestling and others.

Bro those days are long gone, all we can do is pray and hope. I'm sure someone on here can get though to the Pakistan Olympic Association and ask what the hell are you lot doing?
Pakistan is one of the youngest nations on earth and has legions of talent, yet our weightlifters train with make shift weights...

This department has long been neglected, our emotional nation longs for a victory in sports. Had Arshad won Pakistanis throughout the world would have been dancing on the streets, with celebrations for days.

The thing about Arshad is that he has done without any institutional support. All other contestants there- Europeans and even Neeraj - have had some institutional backing. What it means is that if proper nurturing and support is given he can give a much greater delta in the next 3 years compared to the others. Which means a medal.

I have a suggestion. Someone in Pakistan with a deep pocket and vision- or the Pak Fauj as an institution adopt him and look after every physical and psychological need that a sportsman has over the next 3 years.
