    Nadeem’s coach, Salman Butt, praised his performance, calling it a strong start to the season despite limited recovery time between heats and finals. Nadeem, who holds the Olympic record of 92.97m, narrowly missed the championship record of 86.72m. After a slow start, he surged ahead with his third throw and sealed gold with a commanding final attempt. This marks Pakistan’s first Asian Championship gold in 50 years, with stadium cheers and “Dil Dil Pakistan” echoing his triumph.
