'Fighter, true champion': Arshad Nadeem garners praise on twitter even after medal eludes

The 24-year-old covered a distance of 82.91m in opening attempt of the final round and 81.98m in the second. But unfortunately, he was surpassed by other contestants.

Despite an obvious lack of resources, Twitterati showered him with praises and his name became the top Pakistani trend on the platform.

Pakistanis lauded the hard work of the athlete for making the country proud.

#ArshadNadeem - you did this without any state or institutional support. You did this with bare minimum resources.
You did this because of your own determination, passion and spirit. You are truly what champions are made of. 🇵🇰 pic.twitter.com/aK54f3Ip05
