Pakistan’s Olympic Gold Medal Arshad Nadeem secured the fourth position in Javelin’s latest location for throwers, according to the ranking released by the World Athletics Federation on Saturday.
According to the update, Arshad has 1,370 points and places him among the world’s elite despite limited participation in ranking events this season.
Arshad, who rose to international appearance after his gold-winning performance at the Paris Olympics, has only competed in an event in the year-old Asian athletics championships in which he claimed gold.
His absence from several ranking tournaments has affected his position in the position and prevents a further increase. However, the coming months can provide a chance of improvement.
At the forefront of the World Cup for Athletics in September, Arshad is likely to participate in two to three international competitions, which can increase his ranking points significantly if he is doing well.
Meanwhile, Indian star Neeraj Chopra has claimed the supreme location in the gentlemen’s spydrangering and surpasses Grenada’s Anderson Peters.
Chopra is currently leading with 1,445 points, followed by Peters at 1,431, and Germany’s Julian Weber at 1,407.
Other notable names in the top six include Jakub Vadlejch from the Czech Republic, ranked fifth place with 1,346 points and Julius Yego from Kenya in sixth place with 1,314 points.
On the women’s side, Japan’s Haruka Kitaguchi number is a number of 1,405 points, followed by Serbia’s Adriana Vilagos with 1,351.
South Africa’s Jo-ane du Plessis in third place with 1,318, while Elina Tzengko from Greece ranked the fourth with 1,309 points.
For the unwarter caught Nadeem Global attention last year when he crushed the Olympic Spykord with a remarkable throw of 92.97 meters at Parisol and got the coveted gold medal.
Arshad stretched its dominance and produced a similar result on the Asian athletics championship last month by securing the gold medal with an 86.40 meter throw.
He also became the first Pakistani of over 50 years to win a gold medal at the Asian Athletics Championships, marking Pakistan’s first gold since 1973, when the country last claimed top pads in javelin and 800 meters – won by Allah Dada and Muhammad Younis, respectively during the event in the Philippines.
