KUCHING: Nearly giving up on life after losing his left leg in a road accident 10 years ago, Sabah’s throwing athlete Elvsius John had no choice but to rely entirely on the strength of his arms, which gave him a new lease on life.

Elvsius once again proved the power of his arms by not only sweeping all three gold medals but also breaking the Games records in the disciplines he participated in at the Para Malaysia Games (Sukma) at the Sarawak Stadium.
