Arshad Nadeem stunned the world by claiming the gold medal in the men’s javelin event at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday.

This was Pakistan’s first-ever individual gold medal at the Summer Games and also its first medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The gold opened Pakistan’s medal account and propelled it to the joint-53rd position, higher than India’s 63rd spot.

With just one wrestling event and two track-and-field events left for India in the ongoing 2024 Paris Games, the country is unlikely to collect a gold. This is likely to result in Pakistan finishing ahead of India in the overall standings.
