00:00Finally, we have good news from Paris, Arshad Nadeem has advanced to win a medal, he has qualified for the final of Javelin Throw.
00:09Nadeem's coach, Mr. Rashid Ahmed Saqi is with us right now, let's talk to him.
00:13Mr. Rashid, Assalam-o-Alaikum, thank you very much for taking the time.
00:16Walaikum-as-salam, sir.
00:18Congratulations to you, Arshad Nadeem, we have received some good news from the Paris Olympics, what would you like to say?
00:25Congratulations to all of you, congratulations to the entire Pakistani community, Arshad Nadeem has qualified for the finals,
00:36and I wish you all good luck in the finals, Inshallah, you will achieve gold.
00:42Inshallah, Inshallah, 86.59 meters, and for the first time, he has qualified for the finals.
00:51How are you looking at the moment? I feel that the best player does not show his moves beforehand,
00:58he still has more strength in his shoulders, and he will throw a bigger throw in the finals.
01:03Yes, Inshallah, I hope that he will throw a 95 meter throw in the finals.
01:08If he comes anywhere near it, then the medal is for sure.
01:12How happy are you feeling? Tell us a little about this journey.
01:16How did Arshad Nadeem reach here? What was your role? Tell us about Arshad's hard work.
01:22I had organized a competition for Arshad here in 2011, in Mian Chanu.
01:28I was a member of the Punjab Athletic Federation.
01:31Yes.
01:32I had organized a school competition there, Arshad was only 14 years old at that time.
01:37He scored gold in shortboard and javelin.
01:42So I saw him, he had long arms and a long neck.
01:46He was 14 years old, so I felt that he can go to the Olympics if he is well taken care of.
01:55For this, I tried, and his father also came to me with him.
02:01He said that he is your son and you have to take care of him.
02:06So after that, I promoted him.
02:10I took care of him in every way and got him trained.
02:14There was no ground in Mian Chanu, but still we got him trained here.
02:21We sent him to Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, wherever he was needed.
02:31He was our son, and he was so brave.
02:35He prayed so many times.
02:38And because of his good manners, Allah sent him here.
02:44Rashid Bhai, you have said a wonderful thing.
02:48I would like to know about you and your family.
02:52I would like to know that this is a country where anyone can do anything in sports.
02:57You have a good body, you have a good life, so you take it to cricket.
03:01So how did you think that you will be able to succeed in this sport?
03:07I was an athlete in 1974-1975.
03:11I have been an athlete for 2 years in my college.
03:16So I was fond of this sport.
03:20I also help athletes.
03:24In my academy, boys and girls used to train a lot.
03:29So when I saw Rashid, I promoted him.
03:34I say that 100 years ago, in India, there used to be Indobagh.
03:41The kings used to promote their wrestlers.
03:51So when they didn't have any financial problems, they used to show their work.
03:57Similarly, if there is such a thing in Pakistan,
04:01if athletes are seen, if they are promoted,
04:05This is the sad thing.
04:08In our country, people focus on raw talent and hard work.
04:11We don't have a proper sports policy
04:14through which we can support and promote athletes.
04:18Tell me about the Birmingham throw.
04:22It is so great and everyone is remembering it.
04:25Because we need a medal.
04:27Everyone is remembering that performance.
04:30About that performance,
04:32A week ago, I went to Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
04:36A week ago, I made a promise that Arshad will score a gold medal.
04:41And Arshad scored a gold medal.
04:43He threw a 90 plus.
04:45And this time also, I hope that
04:49with the prayers of the Pakistani people,
04:52he will score a 95 meter throw.
04:55Thank you very much.
04:58It is very important that there is a team, a coach, a teacher, and a family behind such an athlete.
05:06How happy is the family?
05:08And what are their expectations from Arshad Nadeem in the Paris Olympics?
05:12Come, let's show you.
05:14I am present at Arshad Nadeem's home, a national hero of Pakistan.
05:18His family is present with me.
05:20Let's ask them about today's match.
05:22What are their expectations and how happy are they?
05:25I am very thankful to God.
05:27My son has given me a lot of hope.
05:31God willing, he will score a medal.
05:34I have a lot of hope in my heart.
05:37My son will score a medal and win a medal.
05:40I am very happy that Arshad Nadeem has made our family proud.
05:45We are very proud of him.
05:47I was sure that as he threw the throw today,
05:50and the whole nation prayed for him,
05:52I am very happy that he did not disappoint them.
05:55Pakistan Zindabad. Arshad Nadeem Zindabad.
05:58It is our fault that only when the Olympics are around,
06:04we remember such athletes and expect them.
06:08The rest of the time, the focus is on other sports, especially cricket.
06:12But Arshad Nadeem can do this.
06:14He has done this before.
06:16He has won medals for Pakistan.
06:19He made Pakistan proud.
06:21God willing, Arshad Nadeem will be successful.
06:24The public has a lot of hope in Arshad Nadeem.
06:27Let's see what they have to say.
06:29He has done a great job.
06:32God willing, he will win a medal this time as well.
06:36Arshad Nadeem is our last hope.
06:38God willing, he will make Pakistan proud.
06:40Arshad Nadeem is a ray of hope for us.
06:43The whole of Pakistan is watching him.
06:45Two years ago, he had a very good record.
06:48I hope he will continue to play well and win medals for Pakistan.
06:53We have a lot of hope in Arshad Nadeem.
06:56God willing, he will win a gold medal for Pakistan.
06:59He is an old player.
07:00He has won medals for Pakistan before.
07:02God willing, he will win an Olympic medal.
07:04Wishing him very best for Thursday, where he will compete.
07:08His main rivals are Neeraj Chopra and Julian Weber.
07:12He will have a tough competition with them.
07:15Moving on, we will talk about the Paralympics.
07:18America and China are competing for medals.
07:22Sometimes America is ahead, sometimes China.
