Bronze: Marcel Hug (SUI):

“I am a little disappointed with the result and the race. I obviously wanted to get the gold medal but the Chinese worked together which made it difficult and forced me to go on the outside to advance in the last stretch. A bronze medal Is ok I guess, but I will be better in Rio.”

Men's 800m T53

“I’m not happy, I really wanted the gold medal, I was only centimetres away from winning.”

I can’t wait to hear the national anthem on the podium – it’s the stuff of dreams!”

Silver: Alberto Suarez Laso (ESP):

“I’m a marathon man so this medal for me is an incredible surprise. The other competitors have much more experience than me in this distance, they are very fast and very well trained, but thanks to my coach and the support of my family I did myself proud here.”

Bronze: Youssef Benibrahim (MAR):

“We stuck to our strategy and we tried to come in first place but it was a lot tougher than we expected. I am happy to be returning to my country with a medal. My team mate Chentouf did his best but we can never guarantee a result. I will continue to represent my country and hope to fly the flag in many more competitions to come.”
