Nadeem is Pakistan's first athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in track and field event. read more India's Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem had stood on the podium together at the end of the men's javelin throw final in the Paris Olympics last year. PTI Pakistan's javelin star Arshad Nadeem, who created history by winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year, has revealed that some of the rewards promised to him by the government were never fulfilled. Nadeem threw an Olympic record 92.97m at the Stade de France in August 2024 to beat India's Neeraj Chopra, who won silver. Nadeem exposes the Pakistan government After his victory, Nadeem was celebrated across Pakistan. He received cash prizes from the government, local authorities, and private organisations. But in a recent interview with Geo TV, he said all the promised land plots were fake. Nadeem said he received all the cash prizes that were promised to him, but none of the announced plots were given. 'Out of all the prize announcements made for me, all the plot announcements were fake, which I did not receive. Apart from that, I have received all the cash prizes that were announced,' Nadeem was quoted as saying by The Indian Express. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Meanwhile, Nadeem said he is currently focused on his training ahead of the World Championships in September, which is scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan. Before that, the 28-year-old Pakistan star is expected to face Neeraj Chopra at the Diamond League in Silesia, Poland, on August 16. 'My entire focus is on myself, but apart from that, we train any youth who comes to us for training, and this training is given by my coach Salman Butt,' he said. If Nadeem takes part in the Silesia Diamond League, it will be the first time he and Neeraj will compete against each other since the 2024 Paris Olympics. Nadeem did not take part in the Doha and Paris editions of the Diamond League this year due to injury concerns. He even declined an invitation from Neeraj to take part in the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic, which was held in Bengaluru this month. Neeraj, who had won gold in the Tokyo Olympics, had to settle for silver in Paris after Nadeem made the monstrous throw to win the top prize.

Arshad Nadeem opens up about ‘false promises', says rewards for winning Paris Olympics gold not given
Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem has claimed that not all promises made to him after last year's Paris Olympics have been kept. The javelin thrower has alleged that some of the rewards announced turned out to be 'fake', especially the land plots. Nadeem threw an Olympic record 92.97m at the Stade de France last August to beat Neeraj Chopra and win the Paris Games gold medal. Neeraj won the silver. However, Geo TV quoted him as saying that while he received all the announced cash rewards, 'every plot announcement was false. I haven't received a single one.' 'Out of all the prize announcements made for me, all the plot announcements were fake, which I did not receive. Apart from that, I have received all the cash prizes that were announced,' Geo TV quoted him as saying. Nadeem's gold — Pakistan's first in track and field — was seen as a momentous occasion in the country and he was showered with prizes from the government and provincial authorities, and private organisations. Despite the unfulfilled promises, Nadeem said his focus won't be affected ahead of the World Championships in September. 'My entire focus is on myself, but apart from that, we train any youth who comes to us for training, and this training is given by my coach Salman Butt,' he said. Meanwhile, A Sports reported that the thrower has undergone a successful muscle surgery in the United Kingdom. Nadeem had suffered a calf injury, which has kept him away from competition so far. The surgery, the report added, was carried out under the supervision of Dr Ali Bajwa in Cambridge, 'where medical experts identified partial damage to the 28-year-old's calf muscle that required immediate surgical intervention'. Nadeem's coach Butt said they were not hopeful of a smooth and timely recovery. Nadeem and Neeraj are likely to face off for the first time this year at the Diamond League in Silesia, Poland, on August 16.
