Gold and world record for Germany!
Lindy Ave managed a fabulous 400 meter run at the Tokyo Paralympics.
There was men's silver immediately afterwards.
Tokyo - Sprinter Lindy Ave surprisingly won the 13th German gold medal at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
The 23-year-old won the 400 m in the T38 starting class in exactly one minute, setting a world record.
For the Greifswald native, it is the first Paralympics victory, having previously won bronze in the 100 m in Japan.
Felix Streng meanwhile missed his second gold medal.
The winner of the 100 m had to admit defeat to the Costa Rican Sherman Isidro Guity Guity in 21.78 seconds on the double distance in the starting class T64, the top favorite was 35 hundredths short of the second triumph.
This means that cyclist Jana Majunke remains the only German with two gold medals in Japan.
Paralympics: Lindy Ave takes gold with a world record in the 400-meter sprint - Streng missed victory
“Of course I'm disappointed.
It was already drawn into my adductors beforehand. When I started I felt it again, "said Streng:" It was weird.
But I wanna be a good loser
It was an amazing game for me.
That really hurt today, but that shouldn't be an excuse. "
In 2016 in Rio he won the title with the prosthetic relay, at the time he won bronze over 100 m.
For his second gold chance in Japan, Streng decided not to go on the universal relay on Friday.
The 26-year-old had left his training group in Leverkusen last year with bad background noise and switched to a training group in London.
The decision paid off in Tokyo.
Rio winner Daniel Scheil had to be content with fifth place in the F33 class shot put after 9.86 m, while he was almost one and a half meters short of bronze.
At the Olympics *, Germany was not awarded a medal in the sprint.
