Brazilian Yeltsin Jacques on Friday morning brushed aside both homeboy Kenya Karasawa and the Kenyan duo of Rodgers Kiprop and Wilson Bii to bag gold in the 5000m T11 at the ongoing 2020 Tokyo Paralympics Games.

The form-book appeared it would be between aptly named Japanese para-athlete Kenya Karasawa against the Kenyan challengers, but the local favourite wilted late on under Jacques' onslaught to settle for silver with his compatriot Shinya Wada closing the podium.
