KARACHI: A 23-year-old athlete has become the first Pakistani to directly qualify for Tokyo Olympics 2021.
Arshad Nadeem, who hails from Mian Channu in Pakistan’s Punjab province is a javelin thrower who directly qualified for Tokyo Olympics 2021, a global sporting event, which was earlier scheduled to be held in July. It has now been postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nadeem is a four-time national champion, and among many honours and platitudes, holds the distinction of being the sole representative from Pakistan at the World Athletics Championship at Doha.
