But yesterday, the 17-year-old para cyclist became the pride of the nation after bagging the first gold for Malaysia in the Asean Para Games. The C category is for a cyclist who has upper or lower limb disability or severe neurological dysfunction. Adi started out as a badminton player but his father encouraged him to take up track cycling last year. I’m glad to represent my country at the Asean Para Games, especially as it is held in Malaysia. “Coach (Johari Nayan) wanted me to win the first gold for Malaysia as my event was the first of the day.
