Ballpointer Niko Kappel has won the Paralympic Games in Tokyo Bronze. The Rio champion came in his fourth and best attempt at 13.30 m and finished in the start class F41 in third place. On winner Bobirjon Omonov missed the Stuttgart 76 centimeters. For Kappel it is the second precious metal after the gold medal from 2016 in its second participation in Paralympics.
With my performance, I'm not quite satisfied, but with the medal I am very happy, Kappel said. He trap a huge stone from the heart that it worked so and it was the very difficult, I would almost say fucking season, a medal has become.
After dominant preseason with multiple world records, the small bullet jumper this year repeatedly plagued injury problems, so he never took right to his top shape. There is still more in it, led Kappel. He needed to celebrate the day definitely a beer, I have to look in all the combs, if I find one, said the 26-year-old with a broad grin.
Meanwhile, Marcel Böttger disappointed after his disqualification over 100 m in the long jump. The visually impaired 28-year-old landed in the start class T12 with 5.61 m on the tenth and last place.
