Current events: Golden day for paralympians


 New Zealand Paralympics have received more gold medals. 
Track sprinter Liam Malone ran to victory in the 200m final. He  broke the record of South African Oscar Pistorius in the T44 classification for athletes running with the aid of prosthetic.
In the pool Sophie Pascoe and Cameron Leslie smashed  their opponents in finals.

Pascoe received her third gold of these Games. Which means Pascoe  is now New Zealand most successful Paralympic. Her latest gold means she passes Eve Rimmer, who won eight golds in different track and field events from 1968 to 1980.
Swimmers have won five of New Zealand’s six gold medals in Rio.

My opinion: I love that we go and attend these games and do well. I think not as many people care about the Paralympics as the Olympics.
