More records tumble as Paralympians excel

The Bird's Nest saw several world records broken yesterday.

China's Zhu Pengkai claimed a gold medal in the men's javelin, F11/12, with a new world record, followed by Branimir Budetic of Croatia and Miroslaw Pych from Poland.

"My third throw was 63.07m and that was my best throw ever," Zhu said. "I performed much better than expected. I felt the gold was in my hands when I made it."
