KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — National Paralympian Datuk Abdul Latif Romly had better be wary of the threat posed by Noah Vucsics of Canada and Colombia’s Jhon Sebastian Obando Asprilla as he seeks to complete a ‘hat-trick’ of long jump gold medals at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.

Abdul Latif won his first Paralympic gold medal in the men’s long jump F20 (intellectual impairment) event at the 2016 edition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before repeating the feat at the 2020 edition in Tokyo, Japan.
