TOKYO, Aug 23 – Five years ago, three Malaysian athletes made history when they brought home three gold medals from the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games.

It was the first time Malaysia had experienced the glitter of gold since participating in the prestigious Games in the 1972 edition in Heidelberg, Germany. Thus, the achievement of three gold and one bronze in Rio was the best feat ever for the national contingent.
