Athletics | Men's 1500m - T13 Final | Rio 2016 Paralympic Games

is the european champion henry kowa at three goals in beijing in 2008. let's see i told you it was a big field there's about 14 in total as t-13 so no guides in this starting off with jared clifford of australia the 17 year olds finished seventh in the 5 thousand meters in doha chad davis of the usa uh silver in the five thousand meters of the para panams in toronto last year guillermole of canada who is the parapanam champion over 1500 meters and the world champion over five fourth in the 15 and leon in 2013. abdullah mame of morocco who won gold in 08 in beijing over 800 meters and is a four-time world champion twice over 1500.06 and 2015 for algeria this is absolutely baka gold in the eighth and the 1500 in leon and it was a silver double in the same events in doha bilal hamami debut also going in the uh 5 000 yusuf ibrahim of morocco silver in the 5 000 meters in beijing and await fourth in the 15. silva wants bronze twice in world championships floyd bakker the brother for algeria major champion debut for him as well do you know where this man's from [Applause] his major championship debut [Applause] lucas vitetsky of poland the raiding european champion over fifteen hundred and five thousand alongside best paralympic result fourth in the eight hundred four years ago seventh in the fifteen hundred yeltsin jack of brazil silver in the 15. bronson the eight yeltsin for a good reason henry kowa gold in the 15 the five and the ten thousand meters in beijing in 2008 and two men in the major championship debuts for pillel of tunisia and tamiro to miss of ethiopia who qualified for the world championships in doha but who was unable to compete and yeltsin jack was born the same month that boris yeltsin took over as president of russia there is timing so here we go demissa louis caro jacques batetski agrippino de santos baka baka benbrahim hamami mame wale davis and clifford and remiss of me not to mention by this stage that fued and elderly are twin brothers championship davitons 22 years old they are so away we go it's a great field it's a proper 1500 meters field and of being t13 least visual impairment it'll be a well-run race hamami leaning from the front straight away but here come the brazilian pier agrippina de santos and jack to get the crown while straight away and we've got three laps to go i wonder how much of a team they can make jax and agrapino dos santos they're running second and third and i'm just thinking of young jared clifford they're a 17 year old he looks a boy running amongst men there and he is really towards the back of the field and he's got a best time of uh 356 48 but also have to keep an eye on the canyon sitting in the middle of the field at the moment henry a little bit of bumping in the side one of the buckets getting involved there look to me with demissa of ethiopia who too is making his championship debut but the brazilian pair are keeping themselves up well and it's agrippino de santos and it's yeltsin jack who currently have the advantage and now they're hitting the front at least they're doing their best to a little bit of extra bumping here remember there is visual impairment involved so perhaps that shouldn't be much of a surprise but they're coming through again we've got two laps to go and it's hamami who's defending his position very well fortune is here and now with two laps to go the brazilians at the front yeltsin jack oh agropino is falling on the inside but he managed to survive quite well and he stayed in the race and he's kept things going agrippino yeltsin jack with the big mop of hair still fighting hard on the outside to overtake bilal hamami and take the lead with 700 to go well it might be down to yeltsin jacks to carry our brazilian hopes now because he almost staggered to the ground did agrapino dos santos that's a terrible piece of luck for him and now he's towards the back of the field so yeltsin jack says i'll take it on and you're going to have to catch me from here yeltsin jack hits the front silver in the 1500 meters remember in leon in 2013 in the world champs is some bronze on the eighth so he has form and here he is in rio inspired by the thirty thousand all that's happening around now a bit of movement coming from the back of brothers i think they're both coming up for algeria and they are coming up and it's who's in second place here's the bell good work by elton jack and he's in front but now the backers are looking for boats it's forward who's leading the way and it's out to leaf in second place so it's foo i do leads abdulif in second henry kerr was moved up into third place the man who's been here and done it all before and it's the ethiopian tamira de missa who's up in fourth place the brazilian challenge has faded away but at the moment it's algeria one and two it's baka one and two and it's four and baka who leads for algeria after leaf is falling back a little bit now into fourth place it'll be africans one of four but how are they going to stretch out it might be ethiopia against kenya it's the missile in second place it's cohen third but baca is fighting to keep this alive to miss on the outside for ethiopia will he make it holding on to misa baka wins to miss a second and in third place cover for kenya out to leaf bucket in fourth for algeria and foreign and it's a new world record 3 48 29 he's broken it by 200th of a second that's set by zhu of tunisia at london 2012. it could have been gold and silver not just for the same country but for the same family and for twins wow brilliant what a race he was certainly challenged abdellatif pakka what a finish what drama throughout and what tough luck for julio cesar agrippino dos santos who stumbled just when he seemed to be making a good run along his team alongside his teammate yeltsin jacks who faded also so it is demis of ethiopia second and kenya's henry koh a third so gold silver and bronze to algeria ethiopia and kenya and one of the better 1500s you'll ever see that was a brilliant race and to misa just ended up missing out on the line and those are the twin bucker brothers celebrating abdullah tifa's won it fawud was in fourth place agrippino just stumbled there with two laps to go and it really ruled them out yeltsin jack kept it going as long as he could but had his race run with 200 to go it's unfortunate he just seemed to lose his footing i'm not sure if he was clipped was hamami who was closest to him it was difficult to tell and then jacques he too couldn't keep up the pace set by kiwa and baka and of course the ethiopian tomato demise up to latif bucket breaking the world record to mesa so close to mesa almost made it but he put his arms up in the air to celebrate the second place kowa was in third brilliant i thought at one stage he was just going to get it he was gaining all the time and he just lost his momentum well there tell you something i'm just wondering if he if he didn't think he crossed the line it's funny it was it was a strange moment to throw the arms up his rhythm looked all right so perhaps he didn't realize exactly where the finish line was baca certainly did official impairment is involved
