On 20 Oct 2026 GMT+7, the 5th Asian Para Games (Aichi–Nagoya 2026) entered its second day of gold medal events, highlighted by athletics at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium in Japan.
Sasirawan Intachot, Thailand's national para-athlete, delivered an outstanding performance in the women's 200m T47 final, crossing the finish line first and setting a new Asian Para Games record of 25.23 seconds, improving on her own qualifying time of 25.51 seconds at the 2026 Asian Para Games.
This victory earned Sasirawan her second consecutive gold medal. The silver went to a Sri Lankan athlete with a time of 25.80 seconds, and the bronze to an Indonesian athlete who finished in 25.93 seconds.
Sasirawan's gold medal is Thailand's second at the 2026 Asian Para Games, following Anfield Nithikorn Jiamplirikul's win in the men's 200m freestyle swimming event, class S14.
