Initially the gold medal in the shot put event was awarded to Malaysia's Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli who also set a new world record twice, and broke the national record with a 17.94m throw during his 3rd throw at the final.[2] However, he was later disqualified for not showing up on the court on time and a Ukrainian official had also shown his dissent over the gold medal being initially awarded to Zolkefli.[4][5][6] Koval was awarded the gold medal.[7]
The incident sparked public outcry in Malaysia, and Koval was subjected to social media abuse.[8]
