Canadian wheelchair racer Brent Lakatos has earned a silver medal at the Paralympic Games.
The Dorval, Que., native finished with a season-best time of 47.24 seconds in the men’s T53 400-metre final to collect his 12th career medal in his fifth Paralympics.
Paralympic and world-record holder Pongsakorn Paeyo of Thailand struck gold in 46.77 seconds.
Meanwhile, American Brian Siemann took bronze in 47.84 seconds.
The 44-year-old Lakatos was the leading qualifier in Heat 2 earlier Sunday with a then-season best of 49.04 seconds.
It’s his first medal in Paris after picking up four silvers at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
