The purpose of this post is not to criticize but to present facts and highlight that our nation has a habit of creating heroic figures out of charismatic individuals. Arshad Nadeem's victory is due to his hard work, government investment, and natural talent. However, he is being portrayed as a poor, unsupported hero, which is contrary to the reality. Read on:
---
Arshad Nadeem was hired by WAPDA about a decade ago under the sports quota. He is likely in grade 18 now.
In 2016, he participated in the South Asian Games at government expense and won a bronze medal. As a result, he received a World Athletics scholarship and the opportunity to train at the IAAF High-Performance Training Centre in Mauritius.
In 2016, he also participated in the 17th Asian Junior Games, held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, at government expense, and won a medal.
Similarly, in 2017, 2018, and 2019, he participated in various government-sponsored games in Baku, Australia, Jakarta, and Doha, winning several medals.
Before the start of the 2022 World Championship, he began training with Terseus Liebenberg, one of the world's best coaches, in South Africa.
In 2022, he suffered an elbow and knee injury, and the Athletics Federation of Pakistan arranged for his treatment at the Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital in England at government expense (the cost of his treatment and training in South Africa exceeded 20 million PKR).
Victories in such major competitions are not achieved through the power of milk and yogurt; they are possible only with the support of major institutions, government backing, and excellent training. No one is born a Superman who can win the Olympics just by practicing in the village.
In 2021, his father stated that they did not have access to a proper ground or other facilities for practice. In recent videos, his brother's statements also suggest that they are poor and that Arshad trained on his own. The language was not explicit because, in the age of social media, facts come out in minutes.
As for his living conditions, he owns a good house and a nice car in Rahim Garden, an upscale society in Mian Channu.
