Smyth wins Paralympic gold in world record time

Irish sprinter Jason Smyth set the Bird's Nest track on fire tonight in Beijing winning 100m (T13 Vision Impaired category) gold in a new Paralympic World record time of 10.62sec.

It was two world records in one day for the twenty-year-old as tonight he broke the 10.81sec mark he set in qualifying this morning by almost two tenths of a second.
