Omara Durand and Yuniol Kindelán

Paris, Sep 5 (PL) Cuban paratriathlete Omara Durand won her tenth gold medal at the Paralympic Games, after being crowned today champion of the 100 meters, category T12, in the current edition of Paris 2024.

Durand, accompanied by her guide Yunior Kindelán, stopped the digital timer at the Stade de France in 11.81 seconds, escorted by Ukrainian Oksana Boturchuk (12.17) and German Katrin Mueller-Rottgardt (12.26), in all cases their best marks this season.

This was the fourth title for the Cuban in the hectometer event, a distance in which she was also crowned in London 2012 (with 12.00 seconds), Rio 2016 (11.40, current world record) and Tokyo 2020 (11.49).

The Ukrainian Boturchuk added her third medal in this event, as she previously won bronze in London 2012 (12.18) and silver in the Japanese capital (12.03), on that occasion preceded precisely by the Cuban.

Durand and her guide Kindelán will still seek a third title in the current summer event in the City of Light in the 200 meters distance, which she won in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, which if achieved would be her eleventh golden parchment in her Paralympic history, quite a feat.
