About Arshad Nadeem & Salman Butt
On August 8, 2024, at the Paris Olympics, Nadeem made history by throwing 92.97 meters (305.02 feet), breaking Thorkildsen’s record of 90.57 meters (297.15 feet), which had stood for 16 years. He is accompanied by his mentor and coach, Salman Butt. Salman Iqbal Butt is a true outlier in athletics and a crucial part of Arshad Nadeem’s Olympic journey. Mr. Butt represented Pakistan at the 4th SAF Games in 1989 and won a Silver Medal in Discus Throw at the 5th SAF Games in 1991 in Colombo.
This event promises to be an incredible opportunity to learn from and engage with one of cricket’s greatest icons and simultaneously watch some Javelin throws from the world’s athletics champion.
