\nNadeem made his best throw of 87.82m in his third attempt and secured the medal.
\n\u201cArshad, congratulations on winning the medal,\u201d said Shaheen. \u201cIt\u2019s a proud moment for Pakistan. You deserve all the recognition. I congratulate you on this incredible achievement,\u201d Haris praised.
\nIndia\u2019s Neeraj Chopra clinched the gold medal with his best throw of 88.17m. Arshad came second, while Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic came third with an 86.67m throw.
\nArshad did not have a great start as he could only reach 74.80m but the Pakistani came back in the race with an excellent 82.81m throw in his second attempt.
\nHowever, it was Arshad\u2019s third throw which was the biggest breakthrough as his attempt went as far as 87.82 meters \u2014 his season\u2019s best.
\nArshad\u2019s fourth attempt could only reach 87.12m, much less than he was expecting.
