00:00Last night, we saw how crores of people were watching Javelin at Bar-e-Sagheer, Pak-o-Hind.

00:09Not many of us know much about Javelin.

00:12In fact, we may not have seen or taken this sport seriously until a few years ago.

00:17But we should thank Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem

00:20for creating so much glamour and interest in another sport

00:25which was being watched by Pakistanis and Indians at midnight.

00:30Let me show you a glimpse of Arshad Nadeem's journey,

00:34his past and his future.

00:38After 40 years, when Arshad Nadeem won this medal,

00:41for a few moments, we thought that everything will be fine.

00:45We are a nation that is always in survival mode.

00:48We always think of surviving.

00:50When we saw Arshad Nadeem winning this gold medal for the first time,

00:54we thought that we can thrive as well.

00:56A common Pakistani, who has no resources to fulfill his dreams,

01:03was given hope by Arshad Nadeem.

01:06Now, Arshad Nadeem may be able to see his dreams in a new light

01:10and may be able to work hard to achieve them.

01:13When Arshad Nadeem won his competition yesterday,

01:15there was another moment when Arshad Nadeem started crying.

01:19He hugged his friend.

01:21In Pakistan and all over the world, especially in South Asia,

01:24men consider crying to be a sign of weakness.

01:27They don't want to cry in front of anyone.

01:29Their manliness seems to reach its peak.

01:31It's a good thing that our athletes of the new era

01:35not only embrace their emotions,

01:37but they also show their emotions in front of the world.

01:40This is a very good role model for the men in Pakistan and South Asia

01:43who suppress their emotions.

01:46If you want to cry, be it out of happiness or sadness,

01:48you should definitely do it.

01:50The score table was very interesting.

01:52If we look at the score table yesterday,

01:54Arshad Nadeem was in first place.

01:56Arshad Nadeem was also in second place

01:58because both his throws were longer than Neeraj Chopra's.

02:02Neeraj couldn't cross 90.

02:04Arshad Nadeem won the competition with a throw of 92.7,

02:08but his last throw was also more than 90.

02:13So, if we look at the score,

02:14Neeraj Chopra gets gold, silver and bronze.

02:18But their camaraderie is amazing.

02:20They have always played together.

02:25After winning, Arshad Nadeem told the media

02:28that he wanted to become a cricketer.

02:31Everyone dreams of becoming a cricketer in Pakistan.

02:34Arshad saw this dream,

02:35but he got good mentors and coaches

02:38who told him that his strength is something else.

02:41What did Arshad say about this?

02:43If we talk about the journey,

02:45as Neeraj Chopra said,

02:47I started at the village level.

02:49I also started at the village level.

02:51But basically, I played cricket in Punjab.

02:55I was a very good cricketer as a bowler.

02:58Then I had to leave cricket.

03:00Along with that, I was very good at football.

03:02I was very good at football.

03:04I was also very good at Quidditch.

03:06I also played badminton.

03:08After leaving all this,

03:10I started athletics at school level.

03:14I did a lot of events in athletics.

03:16I did four throws,

03:18shot put, javelin throw,

03:21discus throw, hammer throw,

03:23long jump, high jump, triple jump.

03:25Along with that, I also did 100-200 games.

03:30I was the best athlete in Pakistan

03:33at the division level.

03:35My coach, Mr. Rashid Ahmed Saafi,

03:41told me to leave everything

03:43and come to javelin.

03:45At that time, I wanted to go to cricket.

03:47But it was very difficult to come forward in cricket.

03:50There is a team.

03:52It is very difficult to make a name for yourself.

03:57My elder brother was also there.

03:59He also said that he was in athletics.

04:01Similarly, I started athletics.

04:07Thank God, you didn't go to play cricket.

04:09Otherwise, how would Pakistan get a gold medal

04:11after 40 years in the Olympics?

04:13Where there is Arshad Nadeem,

04:15there is also Neeraj Chopra.

04:17Neeraj Chopra, throughout his journey,

04:19the Pakistanis also followed him because of Arshad Nadeem.

04:22Neeraj has always had a heavy back.

04:25In comparison to Arshad Nadeem.

04:27In fact, Arshad Nadeem looked up to Neeraj Chopra in a way.

04:30It was also visible from his conversation today.

04:32As if he was talking to him as an elder brother.

04:36But when this competition happened yesterday,

04:38Neeraj did not believe for a long time

04:40that Arshad threw two throws above 90s.

04:42But what an amazing sportsman's spirit he has got.

04:45And see how Neeraj Chopra acknowledged the athlete

04:48who was better than him

04:50about the performance of yesterday.

04:52And what did he say to him?

04:54The competition was very good.

04:56Every day is the day of an athlete.

05:00Today was Arshad's day.

05:02When we talk about Tokyo and Budapest,

05:05it was our day.

05:08It is very difficult.

05:10If you want to get gold

05:12and you think that you are ahead of a certain player.

05:15Then your jealousy, envy, all these emotions are there.

05:18It is very difficult to manage them.

05:20We can learn this from Neeraj Chopra.

05:22And Neeraj's mother and Arshad's mother

05:27did a great job.

05:28The way, with all the grace and patience

05:32after yesterday's competition

05:34they faced the media

05:36and the way they talked about each other's son.

05:40I wish more people learn sportsman's spirit

05:43from Neeraj and Arshad's mothers.

05:46See, two mothers who live across the border.

05:50But their sentiment is so beautiful.

05:53I am very thankful to God.

05:55And I am thankful to the whole country.

05:58And I am thankful to the whole of Pakistan.

06:00With prayers for my son,

06:03my son won a medal

06:05and made Pakistan proud.

06:08And Pakistan is alive.

06:10What will you say about Neeraj Chopra?

06:12He lost to Arshad.

06:13Losing and winning is in our destiny.

06:15And my son, God willing,

06:19may God bless him.

06:21May God give him a chance to win a medal.

06:24I am very happy.

06:26We have got silver and gold medals.

06:28If we get gold and silver medals,

06:29then we can manage it.

06:30No problem.

06:31All three of them are children's players.

06:35What an amazing thing.

06:36So many people think like this.

06:38And so many mothers

06:40have such a passion for their son's best competitor.

06:43So these two women have definitely

06:45set a new benchmark.

06:47But Pakistan's politics,

06:49Pakistan's situation,

06:50there was no change in it at all.

06:53As soon as this competition happened yesterday,

06:54then shamelessly,

06:55as expected,

06:57a line was put up to take credit for Arshad's victory.

07:01A competition was put up.

07:02Arshad's medal is just his medal.

07:04Arshad did not win this medal

07:06because there was some facilitation in Pakistan.

07:09Or because of the government of Pakistan

07:11or the Olympic bodies,

07:12he won this medal.

07:14He won this medal even though he was there.

07:17This is a great miracle.

07:18Because in our country,

07:19there is such a system

07:20that even if someone is talented,

07:21so many obstacles are laid in his way

07:23that even if he wants,

07:25he cannot get the medal.

07:27Otherwise, it takes 40 years for us to get the medal.

07:29So he has overcome all these obstacles

07:31first in the country,

07:33then he has competed with those people.

07:35It is not a small thing that Arshad Dadeem has won.

07:37Among the people who took credit,

07:39Usman Buzdar was an example.

07:41He is living a life of silence in a corner.

07:46He tweeted his picture.

07:48And he said that I met him

07:51and he tried to take credit for it.

07:54We made him believe.

07:55We supported him.

07:57Apart from this,

07:58we saw that Atta Tarar,

07:59Rana Mashood,

08:00Shahbaz Shareef,

08:02came forward and said

08:04that because of our vision,

08:05because of our sports festival,

08:07Arshad Dadeem has reached this position.
