PETALING JAYA: Abdul Latif Romly sustained an injury but did enough to retain his men's long jump T20 title and help Malaysia achieve its three-gold medal target at the Tokyo Paralympics on Saturday.

The Paralympics and world-record holder opened his account with a conservative 7.26m effort to immediately go into the lead at the Olympic Stadium.
