\u201cNeeraj bhai won the gold medal and I am very happy that both countries from Asia clinched the top two spots. Sometimes he will win the gold, sometimes I will so it will continue like this but I am very happy that Neeraj got the gold medal.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cI went to Guwahati, India for South-Asian Games and won the bronze medal there. Neeraj got the gold medal that time. I also broke the previous National Record in men\u2019s javelin throw. As we played more games together, we came close, and our friendship bond got stronger.\u201d<\/p>
Arshad also expressed his gratitude towards Neeraj\u2019s mother who previously congratulated the Pakistani thrower on winning the medal and called him like a son too.<\/p>
Arshad said, \u201cRumours aside whatever they say that Pakistan did this or India did this, thoughts like these hold both the nations together and give us the positive energy to perform well in the tournament. I sincerely congratulate Neeraj\u2019s mother and also the whole of India for the achievement.\u201d<\/p>
Soon after the final results, a picture went viral of all three medalists together in which Arshad was not seen with his country flag. Talking about it Arshad told BBC, \u201cAfter the final throw, I was packing my bag as we carry lots of stuff. Neeraj called me for the photoshoot and I just went.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cMy flag was with me but since Neeraj called me, I thought of just going. Later, I got clicked with my National flag also. The pressure of a big tournament is always there, players from across the world compete against you, so it\u2019s never easy to perform.\u201d he added.<\/p>
On being asked if Neeraj Chopra is his biggest competitor, Arshad cleared it by saying, \u201cArshad Nadeem is the only competitor to Arshad Nadeem\u201d.<\/p>
Further, he added, \u201cI always look to beat myself; I never look to anyone else. I always want to give my best and do better than the previous throw.\u201d<\/p>
Arshad also highlighted the problems he faces which somehow prevents him from giving his best. He talked about the facilities and coaching that he lacks on the National level.<\/p>
\u201cNeeraj gets the world-class facilities and training; we don\u2019t get that. Our government does provide us with the facilities but that\u2019s not enough. Athletes here don\u2019t even have proper ground to practice. I had a few World level Javelin that I use in my training, but apart from this, we need many things that we don\u2019t get.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cApart from these things we also need a better coach who can train us well. If we get these facilities here we can do our training from Pakistan also. Paris Olympics is next year so I hope I will win gold there I also wish the best of luck to Neeraj bhai and I wish him to share the podium with me.\u201d he added.<\/p>", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/09\/i-am-happy-that-neeraj-bhai-won-gold-says-pakistans-arshad-nadeem-after-winning-silver-in-world-athletic-championship.jpg", "alt_img": "I am happy that Neeraj bhai won gold, says Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem after winning silver in World At", "alt_title": "Arshad Nadeem,", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "I Am Happy That Neeraj Bhai Won Gold, Says Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem After Winning Silver In World Athletic Championship On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "I Am Happy That Neeraj Bhai Won Gold, Says Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem After Winning Silver In World Athletic Championship, World Athletics Championship: In the recently-concluded World Athletics Championship, Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan won the silver medal in the final,.", "seo_keywords": "World Athletics Championship, Arshad Nadeem, Neeraj Chopra, Asian Games, National Record, Paris Olympics", "tag": "", "tagging": "World Athletics Championship, Arshad Nadeem, Neeraj Chopra, Asian Games, National Record, Paris Olympics", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "i-am-happy-that-neeraj-bhai-won-gold-says-pakistans-arshad-nadeem-after-winning-silver-in-world-athletic-championship", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "683", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-09-01 17:32:03", "updated": "2023-09-01 17:32:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "World Athletics Championship, Arshad Nadeem, Neeraj Chopra, Asian Games, National Record, Paris Olympics", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-09-01 17:32:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "athletics", "cnmid": "786035", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/i-am-happy-that-neeraj-bhai-won-gold-says-pakistans-arshad-nadeem-after-winning-silver-in-world-athletic-championship-8155" }
