More fourth-place frustration Streimikyte and Ireland at Paralympics

Another disappointment for Greta Streimikyte in the 1,500 despite running a European record.

Another fourth for Ireland in Paris. Another fourth at the Stade de France. Another fourth for Greta Streimikyte. A most frustrating stockpile.

Greta has known fourth-place frustration long before this Saturday and this summer. In her debut Paralympic Games eight years ago, Streimikyte was one place off the medals in the T13 1,500m. In Tokyo, she was fifth. At last year’s Worlds, she was fourth.
