Tatyana McFadden is off to a medal start, but she won’t win seven golds in Rio.
McFadden earned silver in the 100m, her shortest and arguably toughest individual race of a seven-event schedule at her fourth Summer Paralympics on Friday night. It’s her 12th career Paralympic medal.
McFadden, best known for her wheelchair marathon prowess, came back to take second in the sprint behind China’s Liu Wenjun at the Olympic Stadium.
Liu won in 16.00 seconds, followed by McFadden in 16.13, but McFadden looked to be in about sixth place one-quarter through the race before creeping up on the Chinese.
