  • FACT CHECK: Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem To Pay Tax On Prize Money For Winning Gold Medal At Paris Olympics 2024? , Other

    Pakistan’s Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) has brushed off the rumors suggesting taxation on prize money received by ace javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem. When stakes were high at the Paris Olympics in the men’s javelin throw event final, it was Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem who raised the bar by breaking the Olympic Record with a mammoth throw of 92.97m in front of a jam-packed crowd at Stade de France.

    He overcame fierce competition from the one he considers his “idol” India’s Neeraj Chopra. Following his triumph, according to Geo News, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced Rs 100 million for Nadeem. Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab announced prize money of PKR 50 million for the athlete. The 27-year-old javelin thrower is set to receive PKR 2 million from Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori.

    After the announcement, rumors started to surface on social media that Nadeem would have to pay tax on the prize money that he received. However, FBR spokesperson Bakhtiar Muhammad cleared the rumors by stating they were “baseless”. (Paris Olympics 2024: How Much Prize Money Will Neeraj Chopra, Arshad Nadeem Get For Winning Silver And Gold Medal – IN PICS)

    “Rumours of taxing national hero [Arshad] Nadeem’s prize money is baseless. No tax will be charged on the prize money received by him,” FBR spokesperson Bakhtiar Muhammad said in a statement as quoted from Geo News, adding that neither withholding nor income tax is applicable to his prize money.

    “Income tax rules do not mention tax on prize money received in Olympic games. Nadeem is a national hero, and all possible cooperation will be extended to him. After this clarification, such baseless rumors [of taxing him] should be put to rest,” the FBR official added.

    Arshad bagged the historic gold for Pakistan with a throw of 92.97m, setting a new Olympic record and surpassing Denmark’s Andreas Thorkildsen’s mark from Beijing 2008. Grenada’s Anderson Peters secured bronze with a throw of 88.5m. Neeraj settled for silver with a throw of 89.45m.

    Arshad received a hero’s welcome after arriving at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport. His family and top officials including the provincial and federal ministers came to the airport to give Arshad a hero’s welcome after his memorable triumph in Paris.

  • 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.

    A thrilling battle of the titans

    The javelin throw event at the Paris Olympics was nothing short of exhilarating. Chopra, who has been a dominant force in the sport, showcased his prowess with a best throw of 89.45 meters. However, his journey to gold was marred by four consecutive fouls, which ultimately cost him the top spot. Nadeem’s exceptional throw of 92.97 meters not only secured him the gold but also set a new Olympic record, surpassing the previous mark held by Denmark’s Andreas Thorkildsen since the Beijing 2008 Games.

    Chopra, in his post-event reflections, gracefully acknowledged the outcome. “It was Arshad’s day. I gave my best, but some things need to be addressed and worked on,” Chopra said. His humility in recognizing Nadeem’s outstanding performance reflects the spirit of true sportsmanship. Chopra’s silver-winning throw came on his second attempt, showcasing his ability to rise to the occasion, even under pressure.

    Insights into Chopra’s Performance

    Chopra’s journey to silver at the Paris Olympics was marked by a mix of triumph and tribulation. His best throw of 89.45 meters was impressive but fell short against Nadeem’s record-breaking distance. The Indian athlete’s initial throw of 89.34 meters in the Group B qualification round demonstrated his skill, but the subsequent fouls during the final hindered his chances of securing gold.

    Despite the setback, Chopra’s performance highlighted his resilience and dedication. As the second male athlete post-independence to win two Olympic medals in an individual event, his achievement remains a significant milestone. His ongoing rivalry with Nadeem, which saw Chopra leading 9-0 in head-to-head matchups before the Paris Olympics, underscores the competitive spirit that drives both athletes.

    Future Prospects and Reflections

    Following his silver medal win, Chopra expressed confidence in the future of Indian athletics. “India played well at the Paris Olympics. Our national anthem may not have been played today, but it will be heard in the future,” he remarked. Chopra’s optimism about India’s future prospects is a testament to his belief in the potential of Indian athletes on the global stage.

    Chopra’s focus now shifts to assessing his performance and making the necessary improvements. “It’s time to improve the game now. We will sit and discuss and enhance our performance,” he stated. This forward-thinking approach demonstrates Chopra’s commitment to continuous growth and excellence in his sport.
