You would assume a Paralympic athlete would have lower results on a 1500m run than an Olympic athlete.
Well, that wasn’t the case in the 2016 Paralympics when four incredible Paralympic runners,
Abdellatif and Fouad Baka of Algeria, Tamiru Demisse of Ethiopia and Henry Kirwa of Kenya, recorded a faster time than the Olympic champion American Matthew Centrowitz Jr.
3:48.29 seconds was the new world record set by Algerian Abdellatif Baka’s that earned him the gold medal in the 2016 Paralympics more than 1.3 seconds less than the american Olympic champion. He would’ve won gold medal in the Oympics.
