Javelin going off!

Unreal throw from Arshad Nadeem, didn't really know much about him but I know a little more now:

Likely overshadowed by the bigger names and events when it all washes out, but he's certainly made a lasting impression on me, really chuffed for him!

This is a proper rags to glory story, amazing. Couldn't even afford an actual javelin
