The blind runner from Bloemfontein, Louzanne Coetzee, will be running in the final of the T11 1500m at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris this morning.
Yesterday, the 31-year-old silver medallist from the Tokyo Games ran the second fastest time in the heats and a season’s best to cruise into the final.
While she was second in the third heat, her time of 4:45.25 was the second fastest overall and right on the heels of the winning time of 4:44.66 by Shanshan He of China.
