India’s Olympian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra congratulated Pakistan’s Olympian Arshad Nadeem, who won the gold medal with a record throw of 90.18m in the Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2022.
Chopra had won Gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics 2020, while the Pakistani star Nadeem had finished fifth in that mega event.
“Congratulations Arshad bhai (brother) for gold medal and crossing 90mtr with new games record,” Neeraj replied to Arshad’s victory Instagram post.
Nadeem, after his record-breaking throw, became the second Asian to secure the record for the highest throw as Taiwan’s Chao Suncheng had a throw of 91.36 meters in 1993.
“Aage ke competitions ke liye all the best (all the best for the next competitions),” Chopra added.Â
