Arshad’s journey to the top was far from easy. Hailing from a modest background, he often faced severe financial constraints that could have derailed his career. In his early days, Arshad didn’t even have enough funds to purchase a quality javelin, a crucial tool for his training and competitions.

As per reports, his village friends and relatives used to donate money so that he could travel to other cities for his training and events. 

Despite these challenges, Arshad remained determined, training with whatever resources were available to him. His hard work and dedication paid off spectacularly as he delivered a record-breaking performance, securing a gold medal for Pakistan on the international stage.

Arshad’s victory has not only brought pride to his nation but also serves as an inspiration to countless aspiring athletes who face similar obstacles. His story is a powerful reminder that with determination, support, and resilience, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome.
