Paralympics Paris 2024: Marathon, canoeing and basketball on the last day – live | Paralympic Games Paris 2024

Also further is the men's powerlifting 107 kg. Aliakbar Gharibshahi of Iran leads with 247 kg, a Paralympic record, and as we are in the third round, it will take something significant to keep him from the gold medal. But Sodnompilkee Enkhbayar of Mongolia will be attacking 248 kg shortly; if he can do it, he will take the lead.

Jin Hua from China was replaced by Tomoki Suzuki from Japan; They win silver and bronze respectively.

In the women’s race Another Swiss legend, Catherine Debrunner, is leading by a wide margin; Susannah Scaroni from the USA is second, Madison de Rozario from Australia is third.

Swiss Marcel Hug wins gold in the men’s T54 marathon for the third time in a row!

Hug comes around the last corner and the line awaits him! He has destroyed the field!

Hugs drive over cobblestones, and that must be awful – I know how much people in normal chairs want to avoid them, but in these racing matters it must be something else. He's almost there though – the gold will soon be his.

Marcel Hug, who won four gold medals in Tokyo, has so far had to settle for two silver and one bronze medal, is comfortably in the lead in the men's T54 marathon. Second is Tomoki Suzuki from Japan, third is Jin Hua from China and fourth is David Weir from Great Britain, but none of them has the slightest chance of catching the leader.

According to LEXI, the T12 classification is “for runners with visual impairment. Their vision is limited to a radius of less than five degrees and/or the ability to detect a moving object at a distance of one meter.”

And T54 “is designed for wheelchair users whose bodies have full functional capacity but who have moderate or severe leg mobility impairment or who no longer have legs. All generate power through the full range of body and arm movements, allowing good acceleration from the start and very responsive maneuvering during the race.”
