Arshad ahead of Neeraj

Arshad has become the first javelin thrower from the subcontinent to cross the 90m mark. He broke the record of Neeraj Chopra, who won the gold medal in Tokyo last year. Neeraj had a throw mark of 89.94m in Diamond League shortly before, which was also his best performance, but now Arshad has overtaken Neeraj with 90.18 mark. Breaking Golden Boy Neeraj Chopra’s record is not really a big achievement for a Pakistani athlete.

Neeraj not playing in CWG 2022

Neeraj Chopra could not participate in the Commonwealth Games due to a muscle strain. Just before the start of CWG 2022, Neeraj won the silver medal at the World Athletics Championships. He was injured during the same event. After being out of the Commonwealth Games, he released a video saying, “I have to tell you all with great sadness that I will not be able to participate in this time’s Commonwealth Games. I was feeling some discomfort due to the strain I had suffered during the fourth throw of the World Championship and on examination here in the USA, it was found to be a minor injury, for which I was advised a few weeks of rehabilitation Has been.”

Arshad and Neeraj are good friends

There have been many exciting matches between Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem. Both are good friends too. In many statements, Arshad has also admitted that he has used Neeraj’s Javelin in many events. Arshad was quite disappointed after Neeraj’s exit from CWG 2022. He had said in his statement, “Neeraj Bhai is my brother. I miss him here. May Allah keep them healthy and I get a chance to compete with them soon.

Neeraj was praised

During the World Athletics Championships, Arshad had praised Neeraj and said, “Pakistan does not have a spear that fits at the international level. Neeraj practices with a spear of Rs 4 lakh, which we do not have. I don’t compare myself with anyone. I try my best and focus on giving my best.
