Star javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem made history on Sunday when he became the first Pakistani to win the first-ever medal for his country at the World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary with his best 87.82-meter throw.
India's Neeraj Chopra was able to secure the gold medal with his best throw of 88.17 meters.
At the start of the game, Nadeem could not have a good start with his throw only reaching 74.80 meters, however, he made a comeback with a remarkable 82.81 meters on his second attempt.
It was the Pakistani thrower's third throw which was the biggest breakthrough as it reached as far as 87.82 meters — his season's best.
While the Mian-Channu-born Olympian's fifth attempt could not reach the 80-meter mark, nevertheless he managed to throw an 81.86-meter in his sixth and last attempt.
