Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Asia list for 2025 includes Arshad Nadeem, who created history by taking home Pakistan’s first-ever individual Olympic gold medal.
At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the 28-year-old javelin star stunned everyone with a record-breaking 92.97-meter throw, which Forbes referred to as a “stunning show.”
In addition to shattering the Olympic record, his victory ended Pakistan’s three-decade medal drought.
The Forbes list, which was released last month, showcases the continent’s up-and-coming athletes and entertainers. On Monday, Nadeem’s name was formally verified in the highlighted group.
