Athlete's sight depends on gold

If Far East Games silver medalist Svetlana Makeyeva beats the odds and wins the 200m T12 on Tuesday, she will claim the jackpot she needs to pay for a series of expensive injections in her eyes to halt a crippling eye disease.

"I don't think it's possible," she told China Daily over the weekend.

"I've been self-training for these Games and I didn't really get any support or a coach until recently, so a medal will be very difficult."
