PETALING JAYA: They had never seen snow before – but that did not stop two Malaysian teenagers from striking gold three times at the Austria Special Olympics World Winter Games 2017.

Sandakan teens Norysuhadatul Aulia Saidina Maarufi, 17, and Noraini Zakaria, 15, were on top of their game, capturing three gold medals in snowshoeing races between them.
