Electric Energy From ParalympicsGB | Para Relay | Day 9 | Paris 2024 Paralympic Games

China in five Great Britain in seven the universal relay It's a combination of visually impaired amput athletes those were cble py and those competing in wheelchairs brilliant addition to the par Olympic program now it's time for the Brits to deliver well you would expect Zack Shaw to put Great Britain in the lead the quartet opting To Go male male female female a good tap on the back there from Shaw peacock storming down the back straight Wang's also running really well though fabulous performance from the man from China in five peacock onto Ali Smith remember this is about the clock not specifically about beating the Chinese quartet brilliant Bend by xen it really was and King hall now from who and who is coming away Sammy kingh horn needs to keep driving here who was fourth in 100 with a time of 14.14 watch the clock 4509 a new world record for the Chinese quartet Sammy Kinghorn not too far behind him the time will be absolutely critical and the British team will watch the second of the Heats very very closely indeed 4661 that's an area record for Shaw peacock Smith and Kinghorn and that may very very well be enough to join the Chinese in the final they will surely be there after a brilliant world record well excellent from peacock down the back straight but what a wonderful finish from H Yang and it was a great Bend by when who got China back into pole position in that two-way tussle to finish first a world record how about that 4509 [Music] that was absolutely fantastic what a brilliant addition to the lineup today that wasn't around when I was racing and it was just so great cuz it showcases all the different challenges of all the different classifications and how the teams pick the different people to run the bz and how they do the handovers it was amazing that was that was such a good run by all members of both teams it was and the mark of how good that performance was in Great Britain that they were within a second and a half of a world record performance from China lovely Embrace between Johnny peacock and Sammy Kinghorn there Sammy Kinghorn has been arguably our athlete of the games one gold and three Silvers peacock ran really well down the back straight but so too did Wang of China yeah absolutely and this is where you really see how they pick the teams the different classifications and the different options within the within the teams is where it really does win because like like you say when ran a brilliant Bend it's fantastic and that Handover but you can then see how the difference between the t53 and a t-54 about how they get started and obviously with Chinese having the mt54 there they always had a a slight a faster finish but my goodness on both sides I'd be very surprised if they don't make it through to the final well it was a double whammy for Sammy if you like because she was competing against a t54 and they had the highest level of upper body function and she's a t53 and it was a male athlete so she was giving away about a second and a half in terms of The Times They produced here over 100 meters but they could not have done any more that was a brilliant performance by the British quartet against the world record Setters from China and King Horn rightfully delighted I'll be amazed I hope I don't regret saying this I'll be amazed if 4661 isn't good enough for a place in the final China the world record Great Britain an area record 46.6 one I think they'll be in the final Sammy you've had a fantastic Championship so far how's that feeling for you you've just broken the European record yeah it's so exciting I'm I'm glad I'm done my individuals now and I can enjoy being part of a team because it's it's really special being in the cor room and everything with everyone else and uh yeah we had fun out there and know went pretty fast and we got this all European record so it was cool very good [Music] Zach that was an incredible first leg there obviously after racing and being upgraded to bronze medal how are you feeling how have you prepared yeah good I mean like my focus has purely been on the relay to be honest and at the end I didn't know I didn't know where we came and Samy's wheel around she's like we've got European record I was like oh my God so um yeah like it's just at heat so now our focus on to the final should we make it and um just go from there hello Ali you've got your 400 tonight for the 38 how's this affected your preparation it's it's helping we're going to say it's helping now I did it in Tokyo so it does actually help me cuz I get so scared about the
