Medallists GOLD EL HANNOUNI Assia FRA - France Guide: SIMOUNET Gautier<br />SILVER ZHOU Guohua CHN - People's Republic of China Guide: LI Jie<br />BRONZE ZHU Daqing CHN - People's Republic of China Guide: ZHANG Hui<br />LONDON, 6 September Assia EL HANNOUNI (FRA) said that London 2012 would<br />be her last Paralympic Games but breaking the T12 women's 200m world<br />record with a time of 24.80 and retaining the title she won in Athens<br />2004 and Beijing 2008 may convince her to reconsider. If this was her<br />last international appearance, it was a fitting way to bring down the<br />curtain on an outstanding career in which she has won eight gold medals<br />across three Games. She had to work hard for her final victory, though,<br />and only overtook ZHOU Guohua (CHN) 30m from the line, the Chinese<br />athlete finishing second in an Asian record 24.66. "Finally my guide<br />has a gold medal. We have a world record (24.46 seconds) and a gold<br />medal. We came last off the turn. You thought I wasn't going to make<br />it, but I knew I would."
