Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who made history with his remarkable javelin throw at the Olympics, was awarded the gold medal during a ceremony at the Athletics Stadium in Paris on Friday night.

The 27-year-old athlete was met with a standing ovation as he ascended the podium, proudly raising the gold medal for all to see.

With one hand over his heart, Nadeem sang Pakistan's national anthem as the country's flag was hoisted at an Olympic stadium for the first time in four decades.

The emotional moment saw Nadeem fighting back tears as the anthem played, and the flag fluttered proudly in the background.

Nadeem's victory is a significant milestone for Pakistan, making him the first athlete from the nation to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics in 40 years.

He shattered the Olympic record in the javelin throw with a stunning distance of 92.97 meters.

Arshad Nadeem's historic win at the Paris Olympics has immortalized his name in the annals of sports history, marking him as Pakistan's first-ever Olympic gold medalist in an individual event.

With his incredible throw of 92.97 meters in the men's javelin final, Nadeem not only clinched the gold but also set a new Olympic record, surpassing the previous mark of 90.57 meters set in 2008.

This monumental achievement comes 40 years after Pakistan last claimed an Olympic gold medal, which was in field hockey in 1984.

His emotional celebration, wrapped in the national flag and embracing his coach, struck a chord with fans back home, embodying hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
