Pakistani athletes Arshad Nadeem and Najma Parveen head to Tokyo for the 2020 Olympic Games

Pakistani sprinter Najma Parveen and javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem will travel to Tokyo to participate in the Olympic Games.

Nadim received training on the day of Hari Raya before departure. He said Pakistan must win a medal in the javelin competition. He said that he is fully prepared and now needs the prayers of the people across the country.

This will be the second time that Pakistani experienced athlete Palvin has participated in the Olympics as a non-card. She will participate in the 200-meter race of the Tokyo Olympics at the Olympic Stadium on August 2.

The Army athlete has excelled in her methods and has won national championships in multiple competitions since 2010. This is a great achievement for Faisalabad runners.

After participating in the 2016 Rio Olympics on the basis of wild cards, Najma’s success chart began to rise. She set a record at the Peshawar National Games in 2019 and brought this form to the 13th Nepal South Asian Games in December 2019, where she won 400 million hurdles of gold, two silvers and one bronze medal.

At the same time, Nadim has the sixth-best javelin throwing result in the world this year-his personal best of 86.38 meters in Iran in April, where he was forced to travel in search of top competitions.

The burly 24-year-old gave up cricket as a teenager. He will face a stronger opponent in Tokyo, but he said he will not be scared.

“I don’t watch any other javelin throwers…I don’t follow them,” he said after a training session in Lahore last month.

“I focus on myself and how I pitch, and I will do my best-this is how God respects me.”

At the South Asian Games held in Nepal last year, Nadim stood on the podium and was already interested in gold medals. He won a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, behind India’s gold medalist Neeraj Chopra, who is the son of a farmer who throws the third longest distance this year.

Since hosting the first Olympic Games in London in 1948, Pakistan has won three golds, three silvers and two bronzes in hockey.

The bronze medals won by wrestler Mohammad Bashir and boxer Hussain Shah in 1960 in Rome in 1960 were Pakistan’s only individual Olympic medals.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the world’s largest sports festival-the Olympic Games-will open in Japan on Friday.
