Zhou breaks world record to win 400m T53 gold
Zhou Hongzhuan of China competes during the women's 400m T53 final at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
China's Zhou Hongzhuan broke the world record to win the women's 400m T53 title at the Rio Paralympics on Sunday.
The 27-year-old clocked 54.43 seconds to eclipse the previous record of 54.69 set by Australia's Angela Ballard in June.
"I am very happy and excited to win this medal because I trained a lot but I did not expect to win," Zhou said.
It was Zhou's fourth Paralympic gold medal. In addition to Sunday's triumph, Zhou won the 400m T53 and 800m T53 in London four years ago, and the 800m T53 at the Beijing 2008 Games.
She also took silver in the women's 100m T53 on Thursday. Zhou's leg impairment is the result of polio.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
