South African Para Athlete sets new world record!!!
Mpumelelo Mhlongo only took up Para athletics in 2014 at the University of Cape Town but it is his most recent win that is quickly making him a household name in the sporting world.
Mhlongo is currently competing at the 2019 World Para Athletics Championships, a Paralympic track and field meet organized by the World Para Athletics subcommittee of the International Paralympic Committee.
The men’s 100-metre T64 heats this evening was no less than a final with the incredibly talented South African bettering his own world mark in the T44 category with a time of 11.09 secs, giving him a Silver Medal. While Germany’s Johannes Floors also set a new world record in the T64 category with a time of 10.54 secs, giving him the Gold place.
