The first to shine was the 31-year-old Yeltsin Jacques, from Mato Grosso do Sul, when he won the 1,500-meter race in the T11 class (for athletes with visual impairments) in 4min03s83, repeating his performance at the Tokyo Games, when he was also champion . The Brazilian middle distance runner – who competed in the race alongside guide Edelson Ávila – left behind the Japanese Kenia Karasawa (4min08s26) who took silver, and the Polish Aleksander Kossakowski (4min08s34), third placed with bronze. It was Yeltsin’s second medal in this edition of the Worlds: he had already won bronze in the 5,000m.

Mission accomplished feeling. It wasn’t very competitive, but we managed to do a good job together with our entire multidisciplinary team. Rivalry with the Japanese [Kenya Karasawa] it’s very good inside the track, because we’re friends outside it. I stayed in front the whole time, but I knew he was going to come back. But my biotype and my genetics help me a lot, I manage to be fast at the finish. I knew that if I got to the last 500 meters in front, I would hardly lose. Now it’s time to adjust the details for the next challenges. Next year, we’ll have two gold medals here in Paris, God willing”, projected the half-distance runner, in a statement to the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB) website. 🥈🥉 We finished this Thursday, the 13th, still in 2nd, behind only China. it was golden for Jerusa Geber dos Santos from Acre, in one of the most anticipated events of the World Cup: the 100m dash for the T11 class (blind athletes). in 11s86, surpassing the record in the competition that was her own – in March Jerusa completed the 100m in 11s83 in the 1st National Phase of the Loterias Caixa Athletics Circuit, in São Paulo.
