PM Ismail Sabri hopes Ziyad’s disqualification will be overturned at Tokyo Paralympics
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has asked all Malaysians to pray that national athlete Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli wins his appeal to retain the gold medal he had initially won in the men’s shot put F20 category at the Tokyo Paralympics earlier tonight before being disqualified.
Despite breaking his own world record twice in the event held at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium and leaving his rivals trailing, Muhammad Ziyad was cruelly robbed of the gold medal when a protest by the Ukrainian camp was lodged against him. Then disaster struck as Ukraine lodged a protest with the technical committee, who then disqualified Muhammad Ziyad and two others — Jordi Patricio Congo Villalba of Ecuador and Australia’s Todd Hodgets — for supposedly being late to enter the call area.
