Three-minute blunder – heroic Ziyad just has to put best foot forward

WHAT a cruel blow for para athlete Mohd Ziyad Zolkefli in his second Paralympics.

The bulky man broke the world record three times en route to defending the gold in men’s shot putt T20 (intellectual disability), and celebrated his victory – only to be told that it had to be erased and wiped clean.

It was as though it had never happened.
