The UAE wrapped up its Rio 2016 Paralympics campaign with a bang as Noura Al Ktebi captured the silver medal in the F32 shot put late on Saturday.
A day after Sara Al Senaani became the first Emirati female to make the podium at any Paralympic or Olympic event by claiming F33 shot put bronze, Al Ktebi joined her compatriot in the history books by going one better in her event.
The 23-year-old, who had placed sixth in the F32 club throw a week earlier, grabbed the silver medal in the shot put with a 4.70m throw.
