'I See Arshad Nadeem As Senior, Not As A Challenge': Kishore Jena Hails Pakistan Athlete
Doha Diamond League: Olympic-bound javelin thrower Kishore Jena on Wednesday lavished praise on Arshad Nadeem, saying he doesn't see the Pakistani athlete as a "challenge" and treat him as "senior", considering his achievements at the mega stage.
With a 90.18m throw, Nadeem had created a new record at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham to clinch the gold medal, becoming only the second Asian after Chinese Taipei's Chao-Tsun Cheng to cross the mark.
Speaking to IANS, Jena -- who won silver at the Asian Games last year -- hailed Arshad, saying, "I don't see him as a challenge, he is an outstanding athlete and has touched the mark of 90 meters, he had won silver in the World Championships and gold in CWG, so he is a better player than me. I see him as a senior player and not as a challenge."
