KUALA LUMPUR: National rider Yusof Hafizi Shaharuddin has clinched Malaysia's second medal of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games after winning bronze in the men's C1-2 3,000 metre individual pursuit today.
Yusof defeated Indonesia's Tifan Abid Alana in the bronze medal decider, crossing the line in three minutes and 52.930 seconds. Tifan clocked 3:53.552s at the Izu Velodrome in Shizuoka.
Yusof's teammate Zuhairie Ahmad Tarmizi had earlier today won gold in the men's C4-C5 1,000 metre time trial final in a time of 1:05.361s.
Zuhairie proved he is in fine form after setting a new games record of 1:04.882s to top qualifying.
The former meet record of 1:07.311s had been set by China's Lai Shanzhang during the Hangzhou Games in 2023.
