Pakistan’s Olympic gold medal winning javelin star Arshad Nadeem will not take part in the Diamond League meet later this month in order to focus on the Asian Games in Japan. “He has decided against competing in the Diamond League meet this month as he wants to be ready for the Asian Games,” Nadeem’s coach Salman Butt said. The Diamond League event is set to feature stars like Neeraj Chopra Chopra, Julian Weber and Anderson Peters. Nadeem’s performance was severely criticized with the javelin star even conducting a press conference to address the ‘heartless’ comments. I have reconciled with the Commonwealth Games performance because I know I can do much better,” he had said.
