What an amazing gift for Malaysia on our national day!
Malaysian paralympic Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli just bagged a gold medal at the men’s F20 shot put event today (31 August) at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics!
The 31-year-old finished in first place after successfully throwing the shot put to a distance of 17.94m in his third and final try, which is also the new world record.
In fact, he broke the world record even with his first throw where he managed to get a distance of 17.31m!
