Tokyo Paralympics 2020: Records tumble from pool to track on day six

Firstpost  

Records have been falling on a daily basis at the Tokyo Games, and Norway’s Kashafali on Sunday became the fastest 100m runner in Paralympic history when he crossed the line in 10.46sec in the T12 final. Tokyo: China’s youngest Paralympian broke her own world record in the pool in Tokyo on Monday, a day after Norwegian former refugee Salum Ageze Kashafali ran the fastest Paralympic Games 100 metres in history. Parsons said he hoped the pair would be able to “really focus on sport and forget for a few days at least what they left behind and the horror that they have been through in their home nation.” Elsewhere Monday, play was delayed on all outdoor tennis courts till at least 5pm local time as Tokyo sweated through more summer heat. Britain’s wheelchair rugby team were meanwhile nursing hangovers on Monday, a day after a shock gold medal, the first time a European team has triumphed in the sport once known as “murderball.” They upset the odds by beating favourites the USA 54-49 in the final.
