New Zealand's Liam Malone has broken a Paralympic Games record held by South Africa's Oscar Pistorius.
The 22-year-old, from Nelson, won gold in the men's 200m T44 final in Rio in a time of 21.06 seconds. Pistorius' record was 21.30 seconds.
Victory gave Malone his second medal of the Games and New Zealand's third gold of the day.
He won silver in the 100m on Friday, losing out to Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock, who retained his title.
