Okay, now today I’m going to describe a person who recently won the Olympic gold medal on August 4, 2024 in Jovaline Thoreau contest and his name is Asheed Nadim. Yes, he became the first ever Pakistani field and track athlete to win an Olympic medal. However, with his stunning throw of 92.97 m which was the longest throw that shattered Norwegian athlete Andreas Thorkildensen record which was 90.57 m at Beijing Olympics in 2008. Additionally, Nadim also broke his personal best record of 90.18 m which clenched him gold in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Bingingham, England. He belonged from poor background. In an interview he said his father was a mess and the sole breadwinner of the family. Even the whole village pulled money to support his training in the initial days despite the lack of world class training, facilities and equipment. I definitely think Nadim deserved this gold medal. He eventually managed to put his country name on a huge platform at Paris Olympic Games and therefore he set an Olympic and Asian record and became first male Jovaline Thoreau in history of Pakistan. Thus, government of Pakistan gave 90,000 prize money to him and also a brand new car with gold plate name as A.N. 92.97 and from that day he became the national hero of our country.

Okay, today I'm going to describe a person who recently won the Olympic gold medal on August 4, 2024, in the javelin throw contest, and his name is Asheed Nadim. He became the first-ever Pakistani field and track athlete to win an Olympic medal. With his stunning throw of 92.97 meters, he achieved the longest throw that shattered Norwegian athlete Andreas Thorkildensen's record of 90.57 meters set at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Additionally, Nadim also broke his personal best record of 90.18 meters, which earned him gold in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England. He came from a poor background. In an interview, he said his father was a mess and the sole breadwinner of the family. Even the whole village pooled money to support his training in the initial days, despite the lack of world-class training facilities and equipment. I definitely think Nadim deserved this gold medal. He managed to put his country's name on a huge platform at the Paris Olympic Games, setting an Olympic and Asian record and becoming the first male javelin thrower in the history of Pakistan. Thus, the government of Pakistan awarded him 90,000 in prize money and a brand new car with a gold plate named A.N. 92.97, and from that day, he became the national hero of our country.
