Noemi Alphonse confirmed her place among the world’s elite with a silver medal this Thursday in the 400m T54 final in Kobe, Japan. In 2023, at the Paris World Championships, she won bronze over the same distance.
“I just missed out on the gold medal. With four finals and a total of seven races in these championships, I got tired. I have to say I’m not in great shape right now as we’re preparing for the Paris 2024 Paralympics. Thanks to those who supported us for these Worlds,” she said.
The Mauritian thus wins her second medal of the World Championships, following her world championship title in the 100m T54 yesterday.
Mauritius now has three medals from these World Championships, following the silver medal won by Anaïs Angéline in the T37 long jump.
