His performance placed him <strong>ninth among the 12 finalists<\/strong>, ending his campaign without a medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sri Lanka\u2019s <strong>Rumesh Tharanga<\/strong> secured the <strong>gold medal<\/strong> with a best throw of <strong>89.75 metres<\/strong>, producing the winning performance of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India\u2019s <strong>Neeraj Chopra<\/strong> claimed the <strong>silver medal<\/strong> after recording a best throw of <strong>85.83 metres<\/strong>, while fellow Indian <strong>Yash Veer Singh<\/strong> finished third to take the <strong>bronze medal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A total of <strong>12 athletes<\/strong> competed in the men\u2019s javelin throw final, with Arshad entering the event as the defending champion after winning gold in the previous edition of the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in the competition, the Pakistani athlete had qualified for the final by finishing <strong>seventh in the qualifying round<\/strong> with a best throw of <strong>78.63 metres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Arshad Nadeem fell short of the podium on this occasion, he remains one of Pakistan\u2019s most accomplished track and field athletes, having earned international recognition through his performances at major global competitions.
