The 2016 Rio de Janeiro paralympics were a great success. Technically, sports reached a high degree of excellence and various records were broken. One Iranian, on wheelchair, lifted 310 kg/683 lbs; a visually impaired Irish man ran 100m in 10"64 and the 1500m became a historic event. The top four visually impaired athletes beat Matthew Centrowitz�s Olympic record. Recently, Jonah Kipkemoi, a 27 years old T46 functional classification paralympian won the men�s 39th edition of Barcelona marathon.
