The government will reward 400m T13 runner, Edwin ‘Tiger’ Masuge with P25, 000 for reaching the final at the ongoing 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, France.
Masuge finished in position five in yesterday's final, in the process, setting a new Personal Best of 49.38s. Paralympics team coach, Nason Maotwe said Masuge had a brilliant race. “The weather was not conducive as it was raining. But he managed to keep up with other athletes. The bronze medal was just about 5 meters in front of him. We take the time and results and move forward,” he told Mmegi Sport. Maotwe said the focus will now shift to the World Championships next year.
