Konkoly, First Time Paralympic Gold Medallist ❤️‍🔥 | Women's 100m Butterfly - S9 Final |Tokyo 2020

Konkoly, at 14 years of age, the youngest from any to represent the Rio games, she goes in four. Two lengths of this pool. Now Sophie Pascoe, how will she manage this race? No doubt has been this contact with her long time coach, who we must say celebrated her fourth successive individual medley win in his hospital bed by eating chocolate cake, I am informed. He would have communicated with Sophie about this finish. >> Sophie Pascoe went out fast this morning. We expect she'll go out fast. Sophie Pascoe has been struggling just a little bit in the second 50. Konkoly, Toni Shaw and Elizabeth Smith will be fast. >> Sarai Gascon has some closing speed. Maybe not as quick as she is in the free. Sophie Pascoe - is she going to leave it all out in the pool? Her race has been about maintaining an advantage. It is Konkoly who is going past her here. For the first time she'll be a gold medallist. She breaks the record and remarkably Sophie Pascoe does not medal, as Smith and Gascon touch. Gascon with a closing finish. Always so very quick but this was set to be the gold medal race for Konkoly. And she's come home and stunned all. Smith touches second. 1. 08. The 22. Pascoe a shake of her head, at the final event for her, in a rollercoaster of Paralympic Games and 19 time Paralympic Games medallist, Zsofia Konkoly, swimming against an 11-time gold medallist. Becomes a first time gold medallist and that is a big victory for the 19-year-old Hungarian. Sarai Gascon outside of the silver medal but she touches for a bronze. >> Coming off the start, Gascon had a quick start. Pascoe, also she went out very hard during this first 50, as we knew she would. But Konkoly - wow! Did Konkoly close here? We saw her close on the 400. She did in the IM and did it again during the 100 butterfly. Here into the first 50 it was Pascoe with a huge weave at this 50 mark. She even had a pretty good turn. Konkoly flew down that last 25 metres. Right past her. Here at the bottom of the screen is Elizabeth Smith. Getting past Pascoe at the end for second and third. Now Konkoly, she's been second a lot. Finally she got the gold. She's got to be really happy with that one. >> At 14 years old when she touched for bronze in Rio, we thought she would going to take off. Indeed she's begun to fly. In this 100 fly, she's on top of the world right now. She's the Paralympic Games champion. Zsofia Konkoly of Hungary is the champion as she breaks the record.
