giving up on life after losing his left leg in a road accident 10 years ago, Sabah athlete Elvsius John had no choice but to rely entirely on the strength of his arms, which gave him a new lease on life.
The 30-year-old completed his golden hat-trick this edition by winning the F57 discus throw with a record-breaking distance of 32.18 metres, erasing his previous games record of 31.99m set in the 2022 edition. Grateful for his success in Kuching, the athlete from Telupid was almost in disbelief that his right arm continues to bring him luck, especially after dominating his final event, following gold wins in the F57 javelin throw on Monday and the F57 shot put yesterday.
Earlier, Elvsius shattered the eight-year-old Games Record in the F57 javelin throw, previously held by Faridul Masri , with a new distance of 27.43m. He also recorded a throw of 9.31m in the F57 shot put, surpassing Faridul’s 2018 GR of 9.22m.Reflecting on the dark moments in his life, Elvsius shared the difficulty of coming to terms with the accident after a 10-tonne truck hit the motorcycle he was riding in Telupid.
