Tunisian athlete Walid Ktila won the gold medal on Monday for the T34 100m with a new Paralympic record after he finished the race in 15.01 seconds.

Ktila beat the previous world record that he set himself in the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Paralympics at 15.14 seconds, winning his fourth Paralympic gold medal.

This marks Tunisia’s second gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics after Raoua Tlili won the women’s shot put F41 on Friday.
