Sophie fought off fierce competition to defend her title
There were golds all round on the track in Tokyo on Saturday night, with Team ParalympicsGB winning both the men’s and women’s T38 100m.
It was defending champion Sophie Hahn who brought it home for the women, crossing the line in 12.43s. The athlete, who has cerebral palsy, managed to hold off Colombia’s Darian Faisury Jimenez Sanchez, who put in a strong effort against her during the race.
“That’s definitely the hardest I’ve ever been pushed!” says Sophie. “She was hot on my heels and I really thought it would be a photo finish – to see my name was absolutely incredible.”
And she wasn’t the only Brit in the event – Olivia Breen and Ali Smith also put in great efforts, finishing sixth and eighth respectively. We couldn’t be more proud of Team ParalympicsGB!
