Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem refused to comment on his rival two -time Olympic medalist Neeraj Chopra of India. Chopra was trolled for inviting Pakistan’s athlete for the recently postponed NC classic tournament.
26 people were killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. Neeraj invited Pakistan’s javelin throw athlete for the competition before the attack. But he was still criticized on social media. Nadeem told the media here, “I do not want to comment about Neeraj due to the ongoing struggle with India. ,
He said, “I am from a village and I will only say that I and my family will always stand with my army. Chopra finished second after Nadeem in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Chopra had said before the Doha phase of the Diamond League competition on 15 May that he and Nadeem were never close friends. The NC classic javelin throw competition is named after this Indian star, which was to be held in Bengaluru on 24 May but was postponed in view of the military struggle with Pakistan.
Nadeem said, “I have always said that I always compete with myself and my goal is to touch the 100 meter mark one day. “He said that if Chopra is doing well then it is good for him. Chopra recently crossed a 90 -meter figure with a individual best throw of 90.23 meters in the Doha stage of the Diamond League competition and won the silver medal.
