Glasgow CWG: Arshad Nadeem Has High Hopes Of Winning Javelin Gold Despite Strong Competition
Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage: Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem, Pakistan’s biggest hope for gold in athletics, has high hopes of defending his Commonwealth Games javelin throw title in the 2026 edition in Glasgow, admitting the competition is heating up with several new athletes attaining the next level.
Besides India’s Neeraj Chopra, Anderson Peters of Grenada, and Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage of Sri Lanka are top competitors for Nadeem’s title when they throw the javelin in Glasgow on August 1.
Pathirage is the fast-rising thrower who won a gold medal in the Diamond League in Rome when his winning throw of 92.62m at the Stadio Olympico was just 35 centimeters short of Nadeem’s record-breaking and gold medal-winning throw of 92.97 m at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
