All three medallists from Rio are there. Jean in four, nam nm in five. -- Nambala in five. Six the champion in six. Athmani in seven. Perris in Australia in lane nine. -Paul in four, nam nm in five. -- Nambala in five. Six 10.46 that world and Paralympic record for Jason Smyth Smith. This the least of the visual impairment categories. And they get away. Smyth got away really quickly indeed. Jean-Paul of the United States too. Smyth out in front. Chased by the Algerian, Athmani. Smyth gets there on the line, just. Or Smyth has held off Athmani, another five metres or so, I think Athmani may have got to him. But a season best for Jason Smyth Smith in 10.53. He makes it four Paralympic titles in a row. He's won by 0. 1 a second. A new African record that he broke earlier in the day, he's broken it again. Mina Aponza has picked up the bronze. Smyth picks up a fourth success successive Paralympic title. The ratified and confirmed time. You just feel if there was another five metres, well, he may have been overtaken. His start is what got him there. It was absolutely incredible. Just watch that, he was out quickest of everyone and when you look at the race overall, well, that's where Smyth won it. Jean-Paul looks great in the first 50 metres. He fell away. Athmani was pushing towards the line. He almost got there with the dip. But Smyth did it. Athmani in second. Look at the teeth gritted, trying to get him across the line, for both of them. And Mina Aponza picks up a bronze medal for Colombia. There was conjecture about what would happen with Athmani, the Algerian. He's so quick. And whether Smyth could hold onto the title. He did just that. He makes it a fourth success successive one. He may be getting on compared to the rest of the field, but he can still run. The man from Derry. Well, that is a very fast start indeed. Athmani was looking strong as well. He's running in able-bodied events before, he was part of the 4 x 100 team that held the African record in 2014. He couldn't quite get there in the end. Smyth looks across to the right. I think he realised he was being caught. His classification changed from T13
