Algerias Abdellatif Baka set a blazing pace in the Paralympics mens 1,500-meter final, turning in a time of 3 minutes, 48.29 seconds at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, good for a gold medal.Had he run that time at the same track in August, he would have eclipsed surprise Olympic gold medalist Matthew Centrowitzs winning time of 3:50 in the same event.Baka was not alone, either, as the second-, third- and fourth-place finishers in the Paralympics final all bettered the American Centrowitzs gold-medal winning time in Rio.It wasnt easy to get this gold medal, Baka said after the race, as quoted by the Huffington Post.
