Nadeem insisted that he got along with Chopra and that the two respected each other a lot.

“He wins, I win, we both do our best for our countries, but obviously there is only one gold medal. But after the initial disappointment, I was happy that I became the first Pakistani athlete to win a medal at the Championships. World”.
