Asra Amir

Arshad Nadeem who ended Pakistan's 40-year-long wait for an Olympic Gold medal. The son of a retired construction worker, who bought his own javelin for Paris Olympics. 🇵🇰

Arshad Nadeem has shown us today that even if your country doesn’t offer you much, you can still stand tall amidst the storms and give something back. A gold medal that has lit a fire in every Pakistani heart.

When we saw you raise the Pakistani flag, our blood surged with pride. You made us stand tall. You gave us a feeling we’ve been craving for so long. You are our hero.

After your incredible victory, Arshad Bhai, I made a promise to myself. My son may have been born in a different land and may speak with an angrez accent, but I will ensure that the love for Pakistan is deeply rooted in his heart. I will teach him our national anthem. I will make sure that as he grows up, he feels the same pride and emotion that I do when he hears the PAK SAR ZAMEEN, with tears of pride in his eyes.

Thank you for bringing us this gold medal. A medal that is shining now in every Pakistani's heart . 💚 🥇
