Today, Friday, Moroccan runner Ayman El Haddaoui won the bronze medal in the 100m in the T47 category, as part of the Paralympic athletics competition of the Paralympic Games currently taking place in Paris.

Al-Hadawi won bronze in the race after covering the distance in 10.78 seconds.

The gold medal went to Brazilian Ferreira Dosantos with a time of 10.68 seconds, ahead of American Best Corbin with a time of 10.75 seconds.

The Moroccan champion reached the finish after occupying first place in the first heat, covering the distance in 10 seconds 69/100, ahead of Cuban Gonzalez Isidoria Raciel with a time of 10 seconds 74/100.

Third place went to Chigwedere Kodawache Byadamoyo of Zimbabwe with a time of 10s 78/100.

As for his compatriot Ayoub El-Sadni, who was playing in the second qualifying series, he was eliminated after two false starts.

This is Morocco’s first medal at the current Paralympic Games.

Issa Al-Daghoghy, the coach of Moroccan runner Ayman Al-Hadawi, who works in the United States of America, said that Al-Hadawi ran the 100m, even though it is not his main specialty, which is the 400m, to gain speed.

He added in a statement to the Arab Maghreb Press that the race was marked by strong competition between a group of runners, including Dosantos and Corban.

He expressed his hope that Ayman will win the 400m race, and why not a world record, even if it would not be easy with the presence of the Olympic and world champion, his compatriot Ayoub Al-Sadni.
