He also won the gold medal in the now discontinued 200m at the Beijing and London Games and has never been beaten at the Paralympic Games. This is Ireland’s second gold medal at the Tokyo Games and their third in all. As expected it was Athmani, who had been the fastest qualifier, who posed the biggest threat to Smyth’s gold medal ambitions. I am just very grateful for everything they do which allows me to get here and cross that line first.”He acknowledged is the closest finish of his six gold medal performances at the Paralympics.
