Pakistan’s athletics star Arshad Nadeem is set to make his long-awaited return to the international arena today as he begins his campaign at the World Athletics Championship with the men’s javelin throw qualification round, an event that has captured the attention of fans across the country.
Arshad is scheduled to take the field at 4:45 pm as he looks to claim the world title, the only major accolade still missing from his resume.
This will be his first competitive appearance since undergoing leg surgery. The Mian Channu-born javelin thrower has been placed in Group B alongside established names such as Grenada’s Anderson Peters, Brazil’s Luiz Mauricio da Silva, and Kenya’s Julius Yego.
To secure direct qualification, Arshad must breach the 84.50m mark, well within reach, given his season-best throw of 86.40m. If successful, he will join India’s Neeraj Chopra and Germany’s Julian Weber, who have already qualified for the javelin final.
