Nadeem's mentors blame negligence for Commonwealth Games flop

Olympic javelin champion Arshad Nadeem finished a disappointing ninth in the Commonwealth Games 2026 final in Glasgow, prompting his former mentors to blame negligence and lack of training. Nadeem, who threw a record 92.97m at the Paris Olympics, managed just 77.41m in the final. Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage won gold with 89.75m, ahead of India's Neeraj Chopra and Yash Vir Singh. Mentors urged Nadeem to refocus.
