Australian Athletes Face Heartbreak at Recent Competitions

News summary

Australian athletes faced heartbreak at recent competitions, with disqualifications overshadowing their medal successes. At the U20 World Championships in Lima, the Australian women's 4x100m relay team was disqualified despite initially winning silver due to a baton handover error, but the team still achieved its best-ever medal haul with 14 medals. Meanwhile, at the Paris Paralympics, visually impaired runner Jaryd Clifford was disqualified and stripped of his bronze medal in the men's T13 5000m for not being tethered to his guide at the finish line. Clifford expressed deep disappointment but vowed to come back stronger. Despite these setbacks, Australia celebrated other successes, including Michael Roeger's silver in the men's T46 1500m and Madison de Rozario's bronze in the women's T54 5000m.
