Haider Ali on Friday became the first Pakistani to win a gold medal at the Summer Paralympics as he hit 55.26m in Tokyo during his F37 discus throw final. However, this time, Ali cemented his status of being the master of multiple track and field disciplines with a gold medal in the discus throw event. But I'm so happy.”He added that he had the silver from 2008, the bronze from 2016, but it was this gold medal that he had been working so hard for. Ali has been an experienced athlete now, but he wanted to make sure that the gold medal comes to him. Ali has been in Tokyo with Anila Izzat Baig, who competed in the women's discus throw event F64 and Chef de Mission Paralympics Fatima Shami.
