Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem returned to Pakistan last night from Tokyo, where he participated in the World Athletics Championships.

He arrived in Lahore via Bangkok from Tokyo and later travelled to his hometown, Mian Channu.

Arshad Nadeem finished 10th in the World Athletics Championship.

Speaking to the media at Allama Iqbal International Airport, Arshad attributed his below-par performance to injury.

“Undoubtedly, my performance in this mega event was very disappointing,” he admitted.

“The injury was a major reason behind it. However, I’m determined to come back fully fit and in rhythm for upcoming events and win another medal for Pakistan,” he added.

Arshad said he would undergo complete rehabilitation and return to full training. “I aim to compete fully fit and in form in future events.”

Arshad Nadeem, who made history at the Paris Olympics, emphasised that he will now focus on recovery and rigorous training to prepare for future competitions.

UFC CEO Dana White spoke about the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk during an interview on Fox News’ “Special Report” on Friday. 

White, a supporter of President Donald Trump, said it was “hard to wrap your brain around” the incident. 

“Things started to feel better and get normal again, and then that happened, and it’s almost like, you know, it’s all starting over again,” White said. “Not just my daughter, a lot of kids were impacted by this, kids who loved and respected Charlie, and it’s just, it’s just hard to wrap your brain around when something like this happens.”

White said he’s looking for “unity” and “normalcy” following the assassination.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The 14 former N.C. State male athletes who filed a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse under the guise of treatment by the Wolfpack’s former director of sports medicine are also suing the school for negligence.

The group filed a second lawsuit this week with the North Carolina Industrial Commission against the school as a public entity.

On Wednesday, those athletes, most as “John Doe” plaintiffs to protect anonymity, sued in Wake County Superior Court alleging conduct such as improper touching of the genitals during massage treatments by Robert Murphy Jr. That lawsuit was against Murphy along with eight current and former school officials individually, tied to their oversight roles. This complaint against N.C. State echoes those allegations.

An N.C. State spokesman said Thursday the school wouldn’t comment on pending litigation. An attorney for Murphy — who was at N.C. State from 2012 to 2022 — said Thursday the former head trainer is falsely accused and there hasn’t been “one scrap of credible evidence that he assaulted anyone.”

This week’s lawsuits expand a case that began with a federal lawsuit from a single athlete three years ago.
