Spain\u2019s <strong>Teresa<\/strong> <strong>Perales<\/strong> won silver (43.02) and Turkey\u2019s <strong>Sevilay Osturk<\/strong> won the bronze (43.48). In the women\u2019s 200 IM SM11, China\u2019s <strong>Ma Jia<\/strong> won gold in world record fashion, winning in 2:42.14, ahead of teammate <strong>Cai Liwen<\/strong> (2:42.91).<\/p>\n<p>Team USA started the night off by capturing two of the three podium steps in the women\u2019s 100-meter backstroke S7. Weggemann (Eagan, Minnesota) won in a time time of 1:21.27 set a Paralympic record and gave her a second gold medal from these Games \u2014 her third career Paralympic gold and fourth overall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Winning the gold medal is a remarkable feat, but I swim for something so much more than medals,&#8221; Weggemann said. &#8220;I love to swim, and I love to continue and challenge myself to see how far I can push the needle. To go in and get a best time and for that to take home a gold medal is brilliant. It&#8217;s the best way you can imagine doing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The three-time Paralympian was joined on the podium by teammate <strong>Julia Gaffney<\/strong> (Mayflower, Arkansas), who earned her second medal in as many days by going 1:22.02 for bronze. Canadian <strong>Danielle Dorris<\/strong> took the silver in 1:21.91.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really excited. It&#8217;s pretty cool that both times I got a medal (in Tokyo), I was able to hear the national anthem. Huge congrats to Mallory Weggemann getting the gold,&#8221; Gaffney said.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing fourth in the same event was another American, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paralympic-games-day-5-women-mckenzie-coan-repeats-as-gold-medalist-in-400-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>McKenzie Coan<\/strong><\/a> (Clarksville, Georgia). The five-time Paralympic medalist went 1:23.10 and will return to the pool tomorrow for the women&#8217;s 100-meter freestyle S7.<\/p>\n<p>Two races later, two-time Paralympian <strong>Hannah Aspden<\/strong> (Raleigh, N.C.) entered the night with the top seed in the women\u2019s 100-meter backstroke S9 and left the pool in the same spot. Her Americas record time of 1:09.22 secured her first career Paralympic gold and her third overall. Teammate<strong> Lizzi Smith<\/strong> (Muncie, Indiana) landed a top-five spot with a fifth-place finish clocking in at 1:14.24. Aspden finished ahead of Spain\u2019s <strong>Nuria Marques Soto<\/strong> (1:1026) and New Zealand\u2019s <strong>Sophie<\/strong> <strong>Pascoe<\/strong> (1:11.15).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really, really happy, excited. It didn&#8217;t feel real, and it still kind of doesn\u2019t. It was such a fun race,&#8221; Aspden said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I was expecting but I just wanted to go in and give it everything I had and that&#8217;s what I did. It&#8217;s been a long, long journey for a lot of people coming here and so just being here, being able to race, is an amazing feeling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Already with a silver medal from Tokyo in her collection<strong>, Elizabeth Mark<\/strong>s (Colorado Springs, Colorado) added one more with a bronze in the women\u2019s 50-meter butterfly S6. The two-time Paralympian\u2019s time of 36.83 is an Americas record and her fourth career medal at the Paralympic Games.<strong> Jiang Wuyan<\/strong> won the women\u2019s 50 butterfly s^ in 34.60 ahead of Ireland\u2019s <strong>Nicole Turner<\/strong> (36.30) and Marks.<\/p>\n<p>The women\u2019s 200-meter individual medley SM11 saw <strong>Anastasia Pagonis<\/strong> (Long Island, N.Y.) reel in her second Paralympic medal at her first Games. Pagonis finished in 2:45.61 for the bronze medal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This one I had to put up a real fight for. I felt her [<strong>Jia Ma<\/strong>] right next to me, and I had to push myself and get to the wall as fast as I could. My breaststroke is not my strong point, so I really had to come back and be really powerful on my free,&#8221; Pagonis said.<\/p>\n<p>In her Paralympic debut, <strong>Leanne Smith<\/strong> (Salem, Massachusetts) picked up her first Paralympic medal after winning silver in the women\u2019s 100-meter freestyle S3. The 2019 world champion in the event touched the wall in 1:37.68.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s overwhelming and just surreal. I don\u2019t think it has quite sunk in yet, but I am really excited to get to that podium and receive that silver medal,&#8221; Smith said.<\/p>\n<p>In the 100 freestyle S3, Italy\u2019s <strong>Arjola Trimi<\/strong> won gold (1:30.22) ahead of Smith and Russian Paralympic Committee\u2019s <strong>Iuliia<\/strong> <strong>Shishova<\/strong> (1:49.63).<\/p>\n<p>Team USA\u2019s seventh medal of the night came from three-time Paralympian <strong>Colleen Young<\/strong> (St. Louis, Missouri) in the women\u2019s 200-meter individual medley S13. Young, who finished fifth in the event at the 2019 world championships, secured her spot on the podium by finishing in 2:26.80 for the silver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel so ecstatic. I really worked on the individual medley over the past year, and I am really happy it paid off. I have to give a shout-out to David Galvin. He is not here, but I would not be a silver medalist without that kid. He pushed me in every single individual medley set, and I\u2019m extremely grateful to have him as a training partner,&#8221; Young said.<\/p>\n<p>Young finished behind Italy\u2019s <strong>Carlota Gilli<\/strong> (2:21.44), who won gold. Uzbekstan\u2019s <strong>Shokhsanamkhon Toshpulatova<\/strong> took the bronze (2:27.92).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/tokyo-2020\/paralympic-games\/en\/results\/swimming\/results-women-s-200m-individual-medley-sm13-fnl-000100-.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Complete results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mallory Weggemann continued her stellar performance at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo \u2014 and she wasn&#8217;t alone.
