Gyranco, confined to a wheelchair, after being injured in the spine following a car accident at the age of five, was placed on track number 5 in the final, with the third time in nature, but increased to do so when she touched a second wall with a time of 1: 25.74 minutes.
In the gold medal, the British Eli Chelis won with a new world record of 1: 04.33 minutes, while the podium picture was completed by the Italian Angela Proquida with 1: 42.47 minutes.
Later in the evening, 21-year-old Ami Daddown, who won two gold and one silver medal at the Tokyo Paralympic Games, will compete in the 50-meter breaststroke.
Meanwhile, a big disappointment for the gold medalist from the Tokyo Paralympic Games and world record holder Mark Mellier, following a reclassification examining the effect of the limitation on athletic ability, as is customary in the Paralympic sports.
According to the classification of the classifiers, Meliar's classification was changed and a lower level of disability was set for him, which would force him to swim with swimmers with less disabilities than his own.
The professional staff accompanying the delegation has filed an appeal which has been dismissed for the time being.
At this point Mark is suffering from a shoulder infection that has worsened further following the grueling tests he went through throughout the day yesterday at the time of classification, and it is doubtful he will be able to compete tomorrow.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
