Malaysia’s para-athletes at the 2022 Para Asian Games in Hangzhou proved their mettle by continuing to maintain an excellent pace that ignited national pride.
National para shuttler Mohd Amin Burhanuddin ensured that Malaysia’s target of 35 medals at the 2022 Asian Para Games was achieved after delivering a silver medal in the men’s singles SL4 (physical disability) event, today.
The 24-year-old strongman said the presence of his brother Bryan Junency Gustin, 26, who will compete in the 80kg event, was a motivational factor for him to finally win his first personal gold medal at the Games, as well as ensuring that the national anthem of Negaraku could reverberate in the hall.
The first day of the 2022 Para Asian Games here saw the Malaysian contingent open its medal tally on a promising note with one gold, two silver and three bronze.
