Shoaib Akhtar’s One-Word Tweet After Arshad Nadeem Breaks Olympic Record To Win Gold Medal Goes Viral

Arshad Nadeem created history on Thursday (August 8) by becoming the first Pakistani athlete ever to win a gold medal in the Olympics. The 27-year-old managed to finish ahead of Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra and world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada to bag the yellow metal in the men’s javelin throw event. Nadeem broke the Olympic record in his second attempt by touching a distance of 92.97 m, which was enough to seal him a top-place finish.

After Nadeem entered his name in history books, former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a picture of Nadeem and write a one-word caption, which is now going viral on the internet.
The former pacer, who holds the world record for bowling the fastest delivery in cricket history, referred the champion athlete as “Shehzadaaa.”
