Tonight’s dream (03.09.2024) in “Stand De France”. Thanasis Konstantinidis and Lazaros Stefanidis made the unlikely 1-3 in the F32 track shot. Gold Paralympian Constantineides and bronze Lazaros Stefanidis. There are no words to describe the size of athlete Thanasis Konstantinidis who at the age of 54 becomes a gold Paralympian by overcoming himself! With a new European record he was the winner in the F32 shooting final. Constantinidis came to Paris with an individual record of 11.60m and this year’s best performance of 10.56m. Today in the final he pitched 11.17 – 11.57 – 10.94 – 11.92 and 11.93 meters in his last attempt to shoot down the European record twice! We recall that Thanasis Konstantinidis won the silver medal in the Corina F32 a few 24 hours ago. The Greek “titan” went back to the top of the Rio Paralympics, while giving Greece its first gold medal in Paris. Lazaros Stefanidis, who dropped 9.84m and managed to win the bronze medal, also made a terrible appearance behind Constantine and independent (Russian) Alexei Tsupkin who dropped 11.39m. The third Greek of the final, Dimitris Zisidis pitched 8,88m to complete as 6th Paralympian the final also making a great appearance.
