Meanwhile, Ziyad recorded a throw of 16.62m to dominate the men’s F20 (intellectual impairment) shot put event, defeating Muhammet Atici (15.12m) from Turkiye and Boonkong Sanepoot (12.80m) from Thailand, while another Malaysian athlete, Mohamad Aliff Mohamad Awi, finished fourth with a throw of 12.61m.

In the men’s F54/55/56 wheelchair discus throw, Muhammad Amir Abdul Raof concluded the competition in second place with a throw of 26.86m.
