KARACHI: The country’s premier javelin thrower and Tokyo Olympics medal hope Arshad Nadeem’s return from Turkey has been delayed due to lockdown in Antalya.
However, he is hopeful that in a couple of days he will be able to get a flight.
“Here lockdown was imposed on April 29 and there is also a flight issue but I am hopeful in two or three days I will be able to get the flight back to Pakistan,” Arshad told ‘The News’ from Antalya on Sunday.
Athletics Federation of Pakistan’s (AFP) president Maj Gen (retd) Akram Sahi told 'The News' they have made tentative reservation for Arshad and he will hopefully return on May 5.
