SOLO, Aug 5 — Para athlete Mohammad Yusshazwan Yusuf has shown that losing both his legs due to bone cancer is no obstacle to creating history for Malaysia at the 2022 Asean Para Games here today.

Today’s gold is a great consolation for him after having to settle for the silver medal in the singles event when he lost to Klongrua Suthi from Thailand in yesterday’s final. “We had won the silver and bronze previously, so today we wanted the gold and succeeded,” the 37-year-old athlete said. He had been wheelchair bound ever since suffering a spinal cord injury from an accident in 2006.
