4 disabled athletes run faster than Olympic champions.

Those who think that athletes with disabilities are more limited in their ability to compete than their able-bodied counterparts may have to reconsider after learning the results of the 1,500m race at the 2016 Paralympic Games.

The final race of the 1,500m T13 disability category concluded with Abdellatif Baka (Algeria) winning the gold medal and setting a new world record with a time of 3 minutes 48.29 seconds.

This achievement is even 1.7 seconds faster than Matthew Centrowitz, the Olympic gold medalist in this event just a month ago (3 minutes 50 seconds).

Remarkably, not just one, but four athletes finished with a time shorter than the American Olympic champion. Among them, Baka's younger brother, Fouad, came in fourth with a time of 3 minutes 49.59 seconds.

This is a remarkable achievement because T13 is a category for visual impairment, meaning that athletes participating in this event still have to run on their own two feet and are "blind."

Meanwhile, in the case of disability category T44, for people with leg disabilities, it is more difficult to assess whether athletes achieve better results than able-bodied individuals due to the support of high-tech prosthetic legs, as in the case of the famous athlete Oscar Pistorius.
