GOLD COLMAN Richard AUS - Australia<br />SILVER LAKATOS Brent CAN - Canada<br />BRONZE GEORGE Joshua USA - United States of America<br /><br />Richard COLMAN (AUS) made up for the disappointing performances by<br />other Australian wheelchair racers in these Games when he won his<br />country's third gold in the Olympic Stadium in the T53 men's 800m in<br />1:41.13, coming out ahead in a massed sprint in the final 100m which at<br />least four men in contention off the final bend.<br /><br />Descrbing how he felt after winning gold, Richad COLMAN said, "Relief. Pure happiness<br />to finally get the job done. It was a tough field and there were a lot of athletes here. Any one of thoseguys could win it. It could have been anyone's race. I didn't want to attack so early but I could see those boys coming."<br />For further information, please visit http://www.paralympic.org.
