In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Paralympics, Italian sprinters Ambra Sabatini, Martina Caironi, and Monica Contrafatto faced both triumph and heartbreak in the 100 meters T63 final.
Despite a fall that disrupted the anticipated Italian sweep, Caironi emerged victorious, reclaiming her title in what was her final race.
Sabatini, who stumbled near the finish line, was later awarded the bronze, adding to Italy's medal tally.
The trio, known for their historic sweep at Tokyo 2020 and the 2023 World Championships, continue to inspire with their resilience and sportsmanship.
Their main competitor, Indonesia's Karisma Evi Tiarani, also put up a strong performance, highlighting the intense competition in this category.
