Russian track and field athlete Alexander Kostin On , he admitted that he still cannot understand the victory in the final race of the 1500 meters in the T13 class at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
The athlete clocked a time of 3 minutes 44.43 seconds, setting a Paralympic record. Another Russian Anton Kulyatin came third (3:44.94).
— How does a Paralympic champion feel?
— First of all, I want to say hello to my son Nikita. Dad loves you and will come soon! I can’t believe I was able to do this, it was like a dream.
— Are you already used to this atmosphere at the Stade de France?
– No, it’s hard to get used to it. I can’t believe that these 60 or 80 thousand spectators are there, it seems that the people in the photo are simply drawn.
— Can you say that your dream has come true?
– Certainly. Sometimes I was even afraid to dream about it, I really wanted to. “I want to thank for organizing the broadcast of the Games,” Kostin said on .
Earlier at the 2024 Games, Kostin won silver in the 5000m. The Paralympic Games in the French capital will end on September 8.
