After the first gold medal, achieved in the pool by Anastasiya Dmytriv, The Spanish team already has its second victory at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. It comes to athletics, where Yassine Ouhdadi had a great strategic career to 5000 meters of class Q13for visually impaired runners, and proclaimed champion.
At the age of only thirty years, Ouhdadi (15:50.64) sHe claimed himself as the absolute king of discipline.

In a final anthological turn, has surpassed Australian Jaryd Cliffordpulling alongside his guide late in the race but finishing third (15:55.05). The Russian also happened to him at the finish line Aleksandr Kostin (15:52.36).
Yassine Ouhdadi stayed on the front lines of the test in its first part, without tiring more than necessary. Of course, he always controlled the test, leaving it to his rivals to try to destroy it. They couldn’t do it.
Australian Jaryd Clifford and Ecuadorian Sixto Román Moreta tried to get another point, but they couldn’t get the Spaniard to give up the spots. Clifford, in particular, accelerated in the final stretch, with Ouhdadi taking second a few meters behind.although there is the possibility of an acceleration that will put him squarely in the fight for gold in the final lap.
That’s how it is. Coming from behind, Ouhdadi went past Clifford to face the final corner alone and reaching the last stretch aware that the gold depends on not sinking in the last meters. Overwhelmed, Ouhdadi did not give up to successfully enter the final stretch and become the Paris Games champion. It was Spain’s second gold medal, eighth overall, in the overall Games.
