Make that four medals from four finals!
What a Parlaympics Games it has been this week for Scottish star Samantha Kinghorn.
After two silver medals earlier in the week and then Wednesday night’s gold in the 1200m, it was back to the track in Paris for the T53 400m.
Catherine Debrunner has been unstoppable this week, too, with the notable exception of the 100m, and so it proved again over one lap. Debrunner made it four golds from five events.
The Swiss athlete took gold in a new Paralympic Record of 51.60 and Sammi was almost two seconds back at 53.45 seconds.
So that makes it three silver medals and one gold for the wheelchair racer from the Borders who has enjoyed such prominence this week across Channel Four and our own platforms.
There was another final experience, too, for Melanie Woods.
After reaching both the 800m and 1500m showpieces, Mel came through her T54 400m heat on Thursday lunch-time.
Minutes after Sammi’s final, Mel was back in action too and came home in sxith place in a time of 55.33. That sixth place matched her effort in the 800m final.
