Dominant Smyth grabs second sprint gold

Ireland’s most successful paralympian Jason Smyth secured a second gold medal at the IPC World Championships in Lyon, yesterday.

The 26-year-old achieved the double by adding the T13 100m title to the 200m crown annexed on Sunday, continuing his domination of the Paralympic sprint events.

Just as he did in London last summer, Smyth obliterated the field in a powerful display of confident sprinting. Having missed the 2011 edition of the World Championships through injury, Smyth was in determined mood to reclaim a title he first won in Assen seven years ago.
