Key Moments
On 1 September, Paralympics Ireland celebrated one of their most successful days at any Paralympic Games by earning three gold medals.[5] Of these gold medals, two were world record breaking performances. Jason Smyth retained his Men's 100 metres T13 title, by breaking his own world record with a time of 10.46 seconds, making him the fastest Paralympian in the world over 100 metres.[6] The same day, Michael McKillop set a new world best of 1.57.22 in the Men's 800 metres T32 race, also retaining his win in Beijing.[7]
On 2 September, Catherine Walsh accompanied by pilot Francine Meehan, won Paralympics Ireland's first ever cycling medal of any colour at the Paralympic Games.[8]
