BEIJING. South African Olympic swimmer Natalie du Toit won her fifth gold of the Beijing Paralympics Sunday as China established what looks likely to be a decisive lead at the top of the medals table.
But the Games were hit by more controversy when a British athlete was stripped of second place over a classifying issue in the women's discus.
Du Toit took the women's 50 metres freestyle in a Paralympic record time of 29.20 seconds, finishing 0.13sec ahead of Russia's Irina Grazhdanova and matching her haul in the 2004 Athens Games. “I was very nervous, I knew it was going to be tight. Coming down the straight I didn't look anywhere in the pool,” the 24-year-old said. “My race was to go out there and concentrate on the start and the finish and I think I got my finish right for once.”
