Ziyad Zolkefli wins gold, sets new record at World Para Athletics Championships


PETALING JAYA: Rio Paralympic gold medallist Ziyad Zolkefli (pic) made the nation proud again with a record-breaking performance on the second day of the World Para Athletics Championships in London, England, on Saturday evening.   

A spectacular opening throw of 17.29m saw Ziyad breaking his own world record of 16.84m set in Rio last year and enough to reclaim the men's shot put F20 (learning disability) gold he last won in the 2013 edition in Lyon, France.
