I just want a place, not to hurt my mates, says Zy


PETALING JAYA: National para swimmer Zy Lee Kher (pic) has been fighting hard for a place in the Paralympics, but he does not want to hurt his teammates who have already been chosen for Paris.

The 17-year-old, who had qualified for the Games but was instead given a wild card slot – which was then rejected by the organisers – has been continuously fighting for his spot in the contingent.
