    PETALING JAYA: Former squash queen Datuk Nicol David has complimented powerlifter Bonnie Bunyau Gustin for winning the country’s second Paralympics gold medal and breaking his own world record in Paris today (Sept 6).

    “I remember when I was still competing, we would cross paths in the gym and even after the toughest session you would still be there. You would train so hard, so long that I would finish and just admire your power and till to this day I don’t know how you did it,” said Nicol on her Facebook posting.

    “I will always be the first believer that Paralympians are the true legends of sports because they work three times as hard.

    “You’re a testament to that and now you are a two-time gold medal winner and you even broke the world record again.

    “I can honestly say that you’re a true legend and I have the most admiration for you. Thank you for showing Malaysia the value of hard work and big dreams,” said the eight-time former squash world champion.

    Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim also congratulated Bonnie for his achievement.

    In a post on the X app, Anwar expressed pride in the Sarawakian’s success.

    “We have won our second gold medal at the #Paralympic2024, and even more impressively, Bonnie has broken the world record!

    “Congratulations! Your achievement is extraordinary!” he posted.
