Borders wheelchair athlete Samantha Kinghorn clocks two new personal bests
The Paralympian clocked 16.11 for 100m and 28.50 for 200m, both those times being faster than the current T53 world records for those distances. Because the event was not approved by the World Para Authority, Kinghorn’s times can’t be ratified as new global records, however.
