On Arshad Nadeem's Silver Medal At World Athletics Championships, Wasim Akram's 'Worth More Than A Gold' Bombshell
It was a historic gold medal for India's Neeraj Chopra in World Athletics Championships 2023 men's javelin final with Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem finishing second. While Neeraj won the gold with a 88.17m throw in his second attempt, Nadeem came up with a season best throw of 87.82m. In the aftermath of the event, Pakistan cricket team legend Wasim Akram took to social media to laud his attempts and point out the lack of infrastructural support for Nadeem. Akram said that in some ways, the silver medal is 'worth more than gold' as Nadeem does not get the same facilities as his fellow top athletes.
