All eyes on Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem in javelin throw final today

With all the nation's prayers and hopes, Pakistan’s star athlete Arshad Nadeem will compete in the Tokyo Olympics' javelin throw final today.

He will be seen in action in the final contest, scheduled to start at 4pm according to Pakistan Standard Time. Total 12 contestants will participate in the final competition today.

According to the details, in round one of the final competition, each contestant will be allowed three attempts to throw.

This will follow with the eight athletes on the top advancing into round two with three more attempts, while the rest will be eliminated. Six best of these throws will be taken into account.

The Pakistanis have their eyes set on Arshad as Pakistan has not won an Olympic medal since 1992.

The last Olympic medal for the country was a bronze, claimed by the Hockey team at Barcelona. Before that, Boxer Hussain Shah had brought an individual medal home in 1988.
