After the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris concluded last month, sports fans all around the world have been enthralled with the Paralympics for the past several weeks. Similar to the Olympics,
several talking points have been raised. On Monday, September 2, Brazilian swimmer Gabriel Araujo won the gold in the men’s 200-meter freestyle S2. This was a great highlight for the fans.
Araujo won the desired gold in the men’s 200-meter freestyle and 50-meter backstroke events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
He was let down in the 100-meter backstroke, however, when he finished second behind Alberto Abarza of Chile.
To compound the anguish, the Brazilian was just 2.07 seconds behind Abarza, according to the Tokyo Paralympics website.
