HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 6 (ACN) Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Party's Central Committee and president of the country, congratulated Omara Durand, who won her tenth Paralympic crown by winning the 100-meter flat race in Paris 2024.
On X, the head of state recalled that the Caribbean athlete participated for the first time in the Paralympic Games in Beijing 2008, where she failed to reach the podium.
She was only 16 years old, Diaz-Canel noted in his message. Today Omara is the queen of speed in these events: 10 titles and there may be more. We feel great pride for this heroic and tender woman from Santiago, concluded the president in the social network.
The Cuban sprinter won the gold medal on Thursday in the 100 meters flat in the Parathletics tournament of the 17th edition of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Omara and her guide Junior Kindelan stopped the clocks in 11.81 seconds. With this result, they achieved their second crown in the event, as they previously won the 400 meters flat, a figure that could increase when they participate in the 200 meters, also as favorites to climb to the top of the podium.
