Pakistan’s Olympic champion Arshad Nadeem has climbed to fourth place in the latest World Athletics rankings for men’s javelin throw. He achieved 1,370 points, reflecting his dominant performance this season .

Indian athlete Neeraj Chopra leads the world rankings with 1,445 points, closely followed by Grenada’s Anderson Peters (1,431) and Germany’s Julian Weber (1,407).

Nadeem earned his ranking points primarily from his gold-medal throw of 86.40 m at the Asian Athletics Championships in Gumi, South Korea, last month. It remains his only ranking event this year, a factor that has somewhat limited his climb.

The Pakistani javelin star is expected to compete in two to three international meets before the World Athletics Championships in September, according to A-Sports. This can help further boost his ranking.

Nadeem’s rise continues from his historic 2024 Olympic gold in Paris, where he shattered the Olympic record with a 92.97 m throw—Pakistan’s first track and field medal in 40 years. His current position confirms his place among the world’s elite.

Now ranked fourth globally, Arshad Nadeem stands on the cusp of major events where his upward trajectory can continue. With key competitions ahead, Pakistan’s javelin ace has the opportunity to challenge for a top-three world ranking by season’s end.
