BEIJING: Oscar Pistorius won his second gold of the Paralympic Games on Saturday as China stretched its lead at the top of the medals table.
Pistorius — aiming for a sprint treble — was dominant down the home straight, finishing in 21.67s, almost a second clear of Jim Bob Bizzell from the United States, with Britain’s Ian Jones in third.
Pistorius has just one race left, the 400m, in which he is targeting a world record.
In the pool, Erin Popovich of the United States missed out on the chance to add to her clutch of four gold medals, losing to China’s Huang Min in the women’s 50m butterfly.
China had 48 gold and 129 medals overall — boosted by 22 athletics gold medals and eight in table tennis — with Britain on 37 gold and 80 overall. — AFP
