Step forward Mpumelelo Mhlongo, who delivered the country\u2019s first medal at the 2024 Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was he the first medallist but it was gold as he scorched to victory in the T44 100m final at Stade de France in Paris on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t execute the race perfectly and at 60m I told myself &#8216;I have to wake up&#8217;. But it\u2019s job done. We got the gold and hopefully the floodgates will open,\u201d said the 30-year-old Team SA athlete.<\/p>\n<p>Mhlongo, who lives and works in Johannesburg, came into the final as the favourite. He delivered on that tag in front of an 80,000 crowd.<\/p>\n<p>He led from start to finish in lane four to subdue the challenge thrown down by Cuban Yamel Vives Suarez and crossed the line in 11.12 seconds. Mhlongo holds the world record at 11.00 and admitted he had been in the type of form to scare that mark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll take the gold though,\u201d he said, draped in the South African flag.<\/p>\n<p>Mhlongo had carried the flag in the opening ceremony as one of Team SA&#8217;s two flag-bearers.<\/p>\n<p>Mhlongo heard the national anthem played loudly in front of the packed stadium and afterwards did a jig of joy, jumping up and down on the podium at the medal ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>It was certainly his moment. He had crouched in the blocks with the weight of expectation on his shoulders. The world record-holder was widely expected to win but expectation and delivery are two completely different things.<\/p>\n<p>Mhlongo delivered, however, on the greatest stage in Paralympic sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a difference on every occasion,\u201d he said about his race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time, with my wife in the stands, my mother here for the first time ever, and my mother-in-law. Having my family here is everything I could have asked for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his preparations, he said: \u201cIt was a lot of hard work, dedication and listening to my coach. He would shout at me for not executing the race he wants. But the job is done and there are two more events to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What happens next?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one step at a time. We did the 100 and got the job done. Time to recover and refocus as if it never happened and execute the plan we have been preparing for three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Puseletso Mabote set himself up as a potential gold medallist when he equalled the Paralympic record, winning his T63 100m heat in 12.05sec to be fastest qualifier heading into the final.<\/p>\n<p>He could add to South African men\u2019s sprinting golden run of late, which has included 4x100m silver at the Olympics, 100m and 200m gold at the World Under-20 Championships and Mhlongo\u2019s Paralympic gold.<\/p>\n<p>Also involved in finals action on the evening was young high jumper Khumo Pitso, who finished fifth after a best leap of 1.98m in the men\u2019s T24 competition, and long jumper Liezel Gouws, who placed eighth in the women\u2019s T37 long jump with a leap of 3.62m.<\/p>\n<p><b>RESULTS ROUNDUP: How Team SA fared on Sunday<\/b><b>ARCHERY<\/b><b>Men\u2019s individual W1, 1\/8 stage:<\/b> *9 Shaun Anderson beat *6 Tigit Aydin (Turkey) 133-132 (26-23, 51-50, 77-80, 104-106, 133-132)<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s individual W1, quarterfinal:<\/b> *9 Shaun Anderson lost to *1 Tianxin Zhang (China) 136-134 (28-27, 56-55, 80-80, 108-107, 134-136).<\/p>\n<p><b>ATHLETICS<\/b><b>Women\u2019s 1,500m, T11 round one:<\/b> Louzanne Coetzee finished second in her heat in 4:45.25, a season\u2019s best, to qualify for the final second fastest.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s discus, F64 final:<\/b> Yane van der Merwe didn\u2019t measure a distance.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 100m, T44 final:<\/b> Mpumelelo Mhlongo won the gold medal in 11.12sec.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s high jump, T47 final:<\/b> Khumo Pitso finished fifth with a best leap of 1.98m.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 100m, T64 heats:<\/b> Paul Daniels finished fourth in an area record 11.23sec and missed out on the final, placing ninth overall.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 100m, T64 heats:<\/b> Daniel du Plessis finished seventh in his heat in 11.75 for 14th overall.<\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s 100m, T63 heats:<\/b> Puseletso Mabote equalled the Paralympic record when he won his heat in 12.05sec to be fastest qualifier heading into the final.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s long jump, T37 final:<\/b> Liezel Gouws finished eighth with a best leap of 3.62m.<\/p>\n<p><b>WHEELCHAIR TENNIS<\/b><b>Men\u2019s singles, second round:<\/b> Alwande Sikhosana lost to Daisuke Arai (Japan) 6-1 6-0.<\/p>\n<p><b>Quad Doubles, semifinals:<\/b> Daniel Ramphadi and Lucas Sithole lost to *1 Sam Schroder and Niels Vink (Netherlands) 6-1 6-1.<\/p>\n<p><b>Team SA media\/Sascoc<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
