'I worked tirelessly while staying in Pakistan': Nadeem blames cold for CWG poor show

Pakistan’s Olympic javelin champion Arshad Nadeem has blamed the cold Glasgow weather for his disappointing performance at the Commonwealth Games. The defending champion finished ninth after failing to make the final three rounds, saying the low temperature made his body stiff and affected his usually smooth run-up.Nadeem managed 77.41 metres with his second throw after opening with a foul. His third attempt was 75.39m, leaving him outside the top eight.“The weather was extremely cold and I personally felt that it affected my body. As you have seen in many of my previous competitions, my run-up is usually very smooth, but this time it wasn’t… because my body had become stiff due to the cold conditions.
