Jonnie Peacock insisted he is still ‘better than these people’ after missing out on a medal in the T64 Paralympic final
Jonnie Peacock has insisted he is still the man to beat in T64 sprinting and says he will compete at a fifthOn a night of exhilarating blade racing, Costa Rica’s Sherman Guity Guity won gold in the T64 class with a Paralympic record time of 10.65sec, 0.13 of a second quicker than he managed in winning silver in Tokyo three years ago. He was followed by Maxcel Manu of Italy and the 2021 champion Felix Streng of Germany in a show of increasing strength in this showcase field.
“I knew after the heats it was gonna be a very tall order to try and come away with something shiny here,” he said. “But we’ve got a great race which I’m really proud to be a part of. I love it, if I’m honest. It’s not one of those events where I can come in at 80% and still take away a gold medal. You’ve got to come in at 100% to take away a medal in this event.
“I’ve got in my own way. It’s not that these guys have beaten me. I’ve beaten myself this year. I’ve been barely breaking sub-11 all season, but I put a 60 together today that I’m very happy with. Give me a few years. I’m not going anywhere, but I am finally on the way back.”
