New Delhi, Oct 1 (PTI) Swiss wheelchair athlete Catherine Debrunner became the first player to win three gold medals in this edition of the World Para Athletics Championships with her 1500m T54 title on the fifth day of competitions here on Wednesday.

She clocked a championships record time of 3 minutes 16.81 seconds to win the 1500m T54 gold after earlier claiming the women's 5000m T54 and 800m T53 crowns.

Defending champion Zhou Zhaoqian of China was relegated to second place for the second time after the 800m.

The Chinese will be hoping to turn the tables on Debrunner in the 100m and 400m sprints over the next few days. But Debrunner has the experience of winning four gold medals in the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games and will want to go one better here.
