Arshad Nadeem, a javelin thrower, earned a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday in Birmingham due to a throw that broke the record by 90.18 meters. Netizens are applauding his performance despite the fact that he is hurt as well, and they are willing to give him another gold medal for bringing the title home.
In a match that featured former Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott, former Commonwealth and world champion Julius Yego, and world champion Anderson Peters, Nadeem claimed victory. The weightlifting record was broken on August 4 by Nooh Dasagir Butt, making him the second Pakistani to earn a gold medal at the Games. The same day, Shah Hussain earned a bronze medal in judo.
Since Nadeem’s victory, people on Twitter have been delighted.
Prime minister of Pakistan appreciate the Arshad Nadeem on his victory:

Cricket captain Babar Azam was one of his many supporters and wrote, “Jism toota howa tha per himmat Himalaya se bhi buland thi ” He commended Nadeem’s work and said he made the nation proud.
Jism toota howa tha per himmat Himalaya se bhi buland thi.
