Team South Africa has added a silver medal to its tally at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
Louzanne Ceotzee was second in the T11 1500 metres. The blind athlete ran with guide Erasmus Badenhorst.
“I’m very overwhelmed, and I couldn’t have asked for a better race, a better guide or better preparation. I’m very thankful for just how everything went down.”
