How Pakistan Celebrated Arshad Nadeem's Historic Javelin Throw Gold Medal In Olympics
Karachi residents came out on the roads in large numbers to celebrate javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem's feat of winning Pakistan's first ever individual gold medal in the Olympics in Paris. The 27-year-old Nadeem ended Pakistan's 4-year-long wait for a gold medal in the Olympics when he picked the yellow metal in the Paris Games with a monster throw of 92.97m -- which was an Olympic record -- on Thursday. Pakistan's last gold medal had come from the hockey team in 1984 Los Angeles Games.
