At 61, Japan’s Tomoya Ito wins bronze

Published by Webster

‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way’. The expression was truly embodied by Japan’s Tomoya Ito, who, at the age of 61, clinched the bronze medal at the Paris Summer Paralympics, making him one of the oldest athletes to ever win a Paralympic medal. Tomoya won the medal in the Men’s 400m T52 category. Known as the “Wheelchair Ironman” in his homeland, Tomoya completed the race in 1:01.08s, finishing behind his countryman Tomoki Sato, who secured the silver medal by clocking 56.26s. The gold medal went to Maxime Carabin of Belgium, who clocked an impressive timing of 55.10s. Despite being up against much younger competitors, 25-year-old gold medalist and 34-year-old silver medalist, 61-year-old Tomoya defied the odds to claim the bronze in the T52 category. The T52 category is designated for wheelchair athletes with spinal cord injuries and severe impairment in the trunk, along with minimal or no leg function. Competitors in this category propel their wheelchairs using elbow extensions. Tomoya’s racing journey began in 1998 when he fell during a business trip and was …

‘Only the poor live near the river… where else can we settle?’: Lok Sabha polls weeks away, residents along Yamuna flag host of issues | Delhi News

Published by Parlour News

When Taj Mohammad, a resident of Jaitpur in his early 40s, speaks of the Yamuna that flows a few hundred meters behind his house, he mentions three things — the stench from the water, the flood in which his family lost several belongings, and the wish for a bund that can keep the river at bay in case of another flood. “You can’t smell it now because the water is only ankle-deep, but when there’s more water, nobody wants to stand too close to it,” said Mohammad, a plumber. Close to Delhi’s border with Haryana on one side and Uttar Pradesh on the other, Jaitpur is where the river exits the city. It is now mostly dry — there is just sand, garbage and a narrow pool where it usually flows. The Capital depends on the river for water, floundering when there’s too much or too little flow — when it runs dry in the summer or when it floods. Last year, the city saw its worst recorded flood in 45 years, leaving the floodplains …
