Jaryd Clifford is cursing his luck after the heartache of his 5000m disqualification was compounded by the Australian finishing fourth in the 1500m by one-hundredth of a second.
Clifford clocked 3:44.95 on Tuesday in Paris but was edged by Russian runner Anton Kuliatin, who is competing for the Neutral Paralympic team and ran 3:44.94.
The narrow T13 1500m loss came after Clifford thought he had clinched a Paralympic bronze medal three days earlier in the 5000m.
