Abdul Latif Romly has narrowly missed out on a gold medal in the T20 long-jump event at the Paris Paralympics.

He was leading until the very last round…but had to settle for the silver, when his Russian-born rival overtook him for the gold on his final attempt.

Latif, however, still returns as a three-time medalist, having taken the gold in the 2016 and 2020 editions.
