Moreover, Nadeem’s medal also triggered worldwide headlines as it was the first gold medal in any individual sport for any Pakistani javelin thrower. Pakistan had previously won only the bronze medal in the Olympics in individual sports.

Naturally, such a historic feat will be celebrated with cash-rich rewards and other felicitation awards and prizes back home. Here’s a detailed list of awards and prizes that Nadeem will be getting once he returns home.
