NEW DELHI: History-making Pakistan javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem is happy that his competition with Indian superstar Neeraj Chopra is gaining as much attention as the cricket matches between the two bitter neighbors because he thinks it will inspire young people in both countries to pursue sports.
With an incredible Games record of 92.97 meters on Thursday night, Nadeem defeated Chopra for the first time in their 11 face-offs to win the Olympic gold medal. With a season-best performance of 89.45 meters, Chopra won the silver and continued their legendary duel.
