Algeria's Abdellatif Baka set a blazing pace in the Paralympics men's 1,500-meter final, turning in a time of 3 minutes, 48.29 seconds at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, good for a gold medal.
Had he run that time at the same track in August, he would have eclipsed surprise Olympic gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz's winning time of 3:50 in the same event.
