Pakistan’s javelin hero Arshad Nadeem is set for the biggest test of his comeback journey as he takes the field in the men’s javelin throw final at the World Athletics Championships 2025 in Tokyo.
After sealing qualification with a clutch 85.28m effort, the Olympic champion now stands just one performance away from potentially delivering Pakistan’s first-ever athletics championship medal.
Arshad will be in action in just a few hours, with the final scheduled to begin at 3:23 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PST). His presence among the top 12 reflects both his resilience and quality, particularly after returning from leg surgery earlier this year.
The final lineup includes the sport’s very best: Grenada’s Anderson Peters, Germany’s Julian Weber, Kenya’s Julius Yego, Poland’s Dawid Wegner, and his arch-rival India’s Neeraj Chopra, making this a clash of world and Olympic medalists.
Arshad Nadeem finished the 2023 World Athletics Championships as the runner-up and will be hoping to go a step further today.

For Pakistan, Arshad’s qualification to the final is already a breakthrough, but the stakes are far greater now. With medal hopes riding on his shoulders, today’s performance could redefine the country’s presence on the world athletics map.
Whether or not he finishes on the podium, his journey back from injury to the grandest stage has already cemented his status as one of Pakistan’s greatest-ever athletes.
