One Of The Seven

A few facts:

He broke the Olympic record twice this round, with another throw of 91+m.

¾ too throws this round were by him.

He is self taught, so notice how his footwork and overall stance isn’t top-tier when compared to other javelin throwers. All he has is brute-strength, which is exactly what he needed to succeed.

He used the same javelin spear for 8 years until it broke last March, when he went to the media begging for help, leading to the government importing one just for him.

He qualified for an athletics competition final for track and field for the first time in Pakistan’s history in Tokyo 2020, where he placed fifth. He is the first-ever Pakistani athlete to be on the Olympics track-and-field podium.

Pakistan has almost zero sports infrastructure, where even cricket suffers due to a lack of adequate leaders, coaches, and support. Almost every other sport? Virtually nothing.

He really is one of those built from the bottom up athletes🥹 super interesting!!
