PETALING JAYA: Sept 11 may be a day of mourning in the United States, but it will now be remembered as the day when the para-athletes wrote a new chapter in Malaysian sports history.

Mohd Ridzuan Mohd Puzi, Ziyad Zolkefli and Abdul Latif Romly struck gold within 24 hours at the Rio Paralympics on that eventful Sunday to put the nation on the world sporting map.
