Just to put this win into context: Arshad Nadeem didn't even have enough money to buy a new javelin. He didn't have proper coaching or a training facility. His village banded together to raise money to send him to the Olympics.
Arshad’s win is cinematic.

Did you know? The Olympic flame is lit using the sun’s rays, a tradition which ensures purity. ☀️
Although there were cloudy skies on the day of the Paris 2024 Flame-lighting Ceremony, the backup flame which was used had been ignited the previous day through this fascinating process. 🔥

Those who keep banging on about the NDIS ‘blowing out’ don’t understand that the scheme returns 52bn per annum to the economy and keeps many thousands of people in work. Please read this report to understand how this works.

Ed Sheeran x 2 + the MCG + more than 200,000 fans = history made.
We’ve seen plenty of centuries at the ‘G, but we have to say - this double tonne is pretty special!
An incredible two nights at the ‘G - thank you Ed!

Closed captioning is not only for Deaf ppl but EVERYONE wanting to understand what's being said OR SUNG. Broadcasters and streamers need to know lyrics & non-English words MUST be captioned not relegated to 2nd class status. #Grammys #BadBunny #captionthis deadline.com/2023/02/cbs-gra…

Add open captions to everything. Netflix, Stan, movies at the cinemas, television, advertisements etc. Everything. The more exposure, the more you get used to it. I don't have a choice. It is access for me.
