Ridzuan stars again at 2018 Asian Para Games

Malaysia are just six gold medals away from achieving their 15-gold target at the 2018 Asian Para Games after picking up two more gold medals in Indonesia on Wednesday.

On top of that, the national contingent also won seven silver and five bronze to secure eighth place in the medal standings with nine gold, 15 silver and 17 bronze.

Malaysia’s first gold of the day came in table tennis when TT8-9 category pair Chee Chao Ming and Ting Ing Hock defeated Indonesian pair Prahasta Mohamad Rian and Kusnanto Kusnanto 11-7, 8-11, 11-6 in the final.

Ridzuan Puzi, who set a new world record in the 100m T36 en route to a gold medal yesterday, contributed another gold for Malaysia in the 400m T36 after clocking 59.36s.
