A para athlete lost his gold medal after arriving late for the competition. Malaysia's Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli, who had won a gold medal in men's shot put finals F20 class, was disqualified because he reported "three minutes late" for his event. The International Paralympic Committee spokesman Craig Spence said Zolkefli and two others were initially allowed to compete under protest after failing to report on time for the event.
