Paralympic wake-up call: 2 Canadians win gold medals, smash records at the Games.....Two champions, two gold medals and two world records: Canada's Paralympians were on fire in Tokyo on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old topped the field in the F46 category and was blown away by the result, saying he was shocked and grateful for the love that got him to the Games...Lakatos wins 3rd silver of Games

The medal raised Canada's medal count to 16.

Though Lakatos was leading at the start, it was Pongsakorn Paeyo of Thailand who came from behind to take the gold with a Paralympic record time of 14.20.
