  • Pakistan’s Javelin Star Arshad Nadeem Receives Heroic Welcome In Lahore After Historic Olympic Gold- WATCH | Other

    Paris Olympics 2024: Arshad Nadeem, despite facing challenges and limited facilities in his preparations for the Paris Olympics, was celebrated as a hero upon his return to Lahore. Pakistan recognized his extraordinary achievement with a grand welcome. Earlier, Nadeem surprised everyone with a monster throw of 92.97m on Friday (August 9) including Neeraj Chopra. He won gold medal for Pakistan and scripted history for Pakistan at the Olympics. Interestingly, he had two monster throws of 90m plus in his five attempts whereas Chopra failed to breach the 90m mark yet again.

    Nadeem wasn’t the top contender in the men’s javelin throw, with much of the attention focused on Neeraj Chopra, who had claimed gold at the Tokyo Olympics three years earlier. However, while Chopra faced injury issues and had a subdued performance, Nadeem delivered an outstanding throw of 92.97 meters on his second attempt, securing the gold medal. This remarkable throw not only shattered the Olympic record of 90.57 meters set by Norway’s Andreas Thorkildsen at the 2008 Beijing Games but also made Nadeem Pakistan’s first-ever individual gold medalist at the Olympics. It was the country’s first Olympic medal since the 1992 Barcelona Games.

    Upon arriving at Lahore airport on Sunday, Nadeem was greeted with a water cannon salute and a rapturous reception from thousands of fans. He was met by his family, including his father, who draped a garland around his neck as the crowd chanted, “Long Live Arshad Nadeem! Long Live Pakistan!” Following this, he enjoyed a victory parade through the city in an open bus. Approximately 150 security personnel, along with an elite convoy, ensured his safety throughout the celebrations.

    In recognition of his historic accomplishment, various provincial governments and organizations had already announced cash rewards. Additionally, President Asif Ali Zardari declared that Nadeem would be honored with Pakistan’s second-highest civilian award, the Hilal-i-Imtiaz.

    “I am grateful to God, my parents, and the Pakistani nation,” Nadeem told the cheering crowd. “This success is the result of immense hard work by me and my coach, Salman Butt.”

    In 2015, Nadeem started competing in javelin throw events and quickly made his mark. In 2016, he got bronze at the South Asian Games in Guwahati, India with a national record of 78.33 meters. Nadeem made a name for himself during the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar when he became the only athlete to compete in the competition. Nadeem’s story from a school boy who was interested in sports to an Olympic record-breaker is an example that anyone can achieve everything with hardwork and dedication.

  • Olympic Rankings Explained: How Pakistan Is Ahead of India Despite Winning Only 1 Medal Compared To India’s 6? , Other

    Paris Olympics 2024: Aman Sehrawat has secured India’s sixth medal at the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024, bringing home a bronze. With this addition, India currently holds the 66th position in the medal standings. As it stands, India has earned one silver and five bronze medals. The sole silver was clinched by Neeraj Chopra in the men’s javelin throw final on August 8, with a throw of 89.45 meters. Chopra, who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics, was outperformed by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who set a new Olympic record with a throw of 92.97 meters. This gold medal marked Pakistan’s entry into the medal tally, propelling them to 56th position, surpassing India in the rankings.

    Why Is Pakistan Ranked Above India In Olympics 2024?

    Nadeem’s remarkable performance brought Pakistan to the 53rd spot on the medal tally, having secured gold. Meanwhile, India, with its five bronze and one silver, is now ranked 64th. The Indian contingent had several opportunities to win gold but fell short.

    Historically, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ranks countries based on the number of gold medals they have won. If countries are tied for gold medals, rankings are determined by the number of silver medals, with bronze medals serving as the last tiebreaker. For instance, China is currently leading with 78 medals due to their 32 golds, despite the US having more total medals (108), including 31 golds. The US is second because they have fewer gold medals compared to China.

    If countries are tied for gold, silver, and bronze medals, they share the same rank. This is evident with France and Great Britain, who are currently tied in fourth place, each with 14 gold, 20 silver, and 22 bronze medals.

    India’s Olympic history includes seven medals from the Tokyo Olympics, with one gold, marking the country’s best performance to date. Overall, India has accumulated 38 Olympic medals since Norman Pritchard won two silvers in the 1900 Paris Games. Pakistan’s tally stands at 11, with four golds, three silvers, and four bronzes.

    Among India’s notable athletes, Manu Bhaker won the first medal for the country at Paris 2024, becoming the first Indian woman to secure a shooting medal at the Olympics. Bhaker also clinched a mixed team 10m air pistol bronze with Sarabjot Singh, making her the first Indian to win two medals in a single edition of the Games.

    How the Olympic Ranking System Works?

    The Olympic ranking system prioritizes countries based on the number of gold medals won. If nations are tied in gold medals, the ranking is then determined by the number of silver medals, followed by bronze if needed. In cases where countries have identical counts of gold, silver, and bronze medals, they share the same rank.
