Beijing - Kevin Paul slashed more than four seconds from his personal best time today on his way to winning a gold medal for the 100m breaststroke SB9 in the Beijing Paralympics.
The 17-year-old Grey High School pupil broke his own world record - set in the morning heats - when he won the final in 1:08.58 and his face mirrored his disbelief as he saw the scoreboard showing the time.
Paul's gold was supplemented by a bronze in cycling when Gavin Kilpatrick and Michael Thomson defeated the Japanese duo in the men's sprint for blind and vision-impaired cyclists.
So far we've got 7 Gold, 1 Silver, and 3 Bronze, 11 medals in total ! We're in 8th place with the gold medals and 13th overall!
