**Gilda Cota Wins Silver Medal at Paris 2024 Paralympics**
Gilda Guadalupe Cota Vera clinched a silver medal and set an American record with a 7.89-meter throw in the F33 shot put final at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. The 34-year-old Mexican made a strong debut at the Stade de France, completing five valid attempts measuring 7.85, 7.31, 7.28, 7.89, and 7.63 meters.
Qing Wu from China claimed the gold with a Paralympic record of 7.98 meters. The bronze went to Svetlana Krivenok, competing as a Neutral Paralympic Athlete, with a 7.74-meter throw.
“I am extremely happy and grateful for my body and the support I received,” the athlete from Yucatán stated. “Due to chemotherapy-like treatment just before Paris, competing for a medal seemed difficult, but today I felt determined.”
Cota, who became the world champion in Kobe, Japan, described an emotional and fulfilling day. “When I lifted my head and saw the stadium and the crowd after my final throw, it hit me that I had achieved my goal. My heart was racing; it was an incredible moment.”
Under the guidance of her coaches Juan Paredes and Andrés Ibarra, Cota’s performance added to Mexico’s medal tally, marking their 12th medal of the games, which includes three golds, four silvers, and five bronzes.
