World Athletics (WA) has updated its ranking for the top five javelin throwers, and Arshad Nadeem has maintained his fifth position on the list.
According to the latest rankings, Neeraj Chopra, a well-known Indian javelin thrower, has claimed the top spot with 1,455 points. He surpassed Anderson Peters of Grenada by 22 points. Jakub Vadlejch from the Czech Republic holds the third spot with 1,416 points. German thrower Julian Webber moved to fourth place with 1,385 points, while Arshad Nadeem is ranked fifth globally with 1,306 points.
Arshad Nadeem, who recently underwent elbow surgery, is optimistic about his fitness as he prepares for the Asian Championship in Pattaya and the World Championship in Budapest. After undergoing rehabilitation and engaging in light training at the PSB Coaching Centre, Nadeem has resumed throwing the javelin.
Despite facing a knee injury sustained during an international event in Iran last year, Nadeem achieved his personal best throw of 86.38 meters at that time. He made history as the first athlete from South Asia to surpass the 90-meter barrier in the javelin throw, winning a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Nadeem’s dedication and achievements in the sport continue to inspire and make him a prominent figure in the world of javelin throwing.
