Sensational Smyth storms to Euro gold

Jason Smyth continued his dominance at Paralympic level by powering to victory in the T12 100m in 10.78 seconds at the IPC European Championships in Swansea yesterday.

The Derry sprinter was competing in the T12 division for the first time after being reclassified from his T13 category before the championships due to the deterioration of his eyesight condition, Stargardt’s Disease.

“I’m delighted to secure the medal for Ireland,” said Smyth after his latest victory.
