  • Haven’t had a world class javelin since seven years, reveals Arshad Nadeem

    Haven’t had a world class javelin since seven years, reveals Arshad Nadeem

    Olympian javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem has revealed that he has not had a world class javelin since seven or eight years.

    Talking to Geo news, Arshad Nadeem said “It is very important to have a javelin of international standard. It improves the game and maintains uniformity in training because if you train with local javelin and go abroad with international javelin, it makes a difference in the performance.”

    Arshad then said his world level javelin is damaged.

    “I am training with a local javelin for the Paris Olympics. There is a risk of injury from using local and non-standard javelins, I have undergone surgery on my right knee last month after one on my left knee and right elbow.”

    The beloved athlete states that a world level javelin costs between Rs 700,000 – 800,000. “For international competitions, there should be at least five or six javelins. A local javelin costs 1 to 1.5 lac rupees but they are not of a good quality.”

    Stressing that there is a “world of difference” between his and Indian thrower Neeraj Chopra’s training, Arshad revealed that he does not have a ground available to train continuously.

    “After last night’s surgery, I have also started rehab and will be back in full rhythm in a month. My current target is the Paris Olympics for which we have qualified for the second time. There will be a couple of events to prepare for before that and I am also going to South Africa for training.”
