‘Bhai give this javelin to me’, when Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem did THIS to Neeraj Chopra before final

Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra revealed that Pakistan athlete Arshad Nadeem had taken away his javelin just before the final.

Neeraj Chopra is currently the toast of the nation, having won the Tokyo Olympics gold medal earlier this month. But everything didn’t go according to plan for India’s first track-and-field Olympics gold medallist. Just before his final in Tokyo, the Indian star wasn’t able to locate his javelin because Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem had walked away with it. “The story is that I was searching for my javelin at the start of the final. I was not able to find it. Suddenly I saw Arshad Nadeem was moving around with my javelin. Then I told him, ‘Bhai give this javelin to me, it is my javelin! I have to throw with it’. Then he gave it back to me,” Neeraj Chopra told TOI in an interview. “That’s why you must have seen I took my first throw hurriedly! Arshad Nadeem gave a really good performance in the qualifying round as well as the final. I think it is good for Pakistan, they have a chance to show more interest in javelin and do well at the international stage in the future,” Chopra went on to add about Nadeem’s performance at the Tokyo Olympics.
