Bronze medal for Stratos Nikolaidis in SHOT PUT F20!!! Ziyad who won the race setting a world record by throwing the ball at 17.94m. was canceled and so everyone rose one place higher therefore Stratos won the sixth medal.

The results changed after objections were submitted. One place below was Leontios Stefanidis. The Greek athlete had initially taken the sixth place, but after the objections won two places.

The objections were made because the athletes were not in the call room on time.

The finals which were marked by the “expulsion” of three athletes, after the end of the game and as a result Stratos Nikolaidis won the bronze medal, and Leontios Stefanidis the 4th place.

The objection to the participation of Todd (Australia), Congo Lialba (Ecuador) and Zolkefli (Malaysia) in the F20 shot put, was filed before the start of the match. All that was left was the decision of the referee in charge, which became known immediately after the end of the match, justifying those who had… legal interest! Among them there were our Athletes Nikolaidis and Stefanidis, Efstratios Nikolaidis performance was 15.93 meters, in the second attempt, while Leontios Stefanidis with the first attempt made 15.75m, that is his personal record. Stefanidis threw the so-called “ Barisnikov way” with a rotating rhythm, from the great athlete.

Initially, Ziyad had … the world record against Ukrainian Koval and It was an exciting race.

In the Paralympic village he was greeted with “Hellas Hellas” despite the rainy weather in Tokyo and the lack of crowds. The medal ceremony will take place today.
