The Malta Paralympic Committee has shared that athlete Antonio Flores achieved his seasonal best during yesterday’s 100m heat at the Paris Paralympics, making the distance in a stunning 13.07 seconds.

The committee has congratulated Antonio, noting that all his hard work during training sessions this season led up to this achievement, spurring him on for his next races at the Paris Games.

The local athlete is now preparing for his next challenge at the T64 200m race taking place later this week, on 7th September.

Well done Antonio, and good luck for the rest!
