Pakistan has its first ever individual Olympic gold medal thanks to Ashad Nadeem,
00:04
whose 92.97-meter javelin throws set a new Olympic record. Nadeem, who grew up in a mudbrick house
00:10
in rural Punjab with seven siblings, got his start in javelin by using long eucalyptus branches with
00:16
iron tips on their ends, his brother told Reuters. Upon returning home after the Paris Games,
00:21
Nadeem was rewarded with garlands, thousands of fans, and a parade in his honor. He received a
00:26
$50,000 prize from the Olympic Association, $350,000 and a Honda Civic from the chief
00:32
minister of his home province, and just over $500,000 from Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabazz
00:38
Sharif. On top of all of this, NPR reported that Nadeem received a buffalo from his father-in-law,
00:43
which is considered one of the most honorable and valuable gifts in their community.
