For the last few months, USA track phenom Ezra Frech has flooded his social media accounts with a countdown of the days "until I win Paralympic gold." That countdown officially ended Monday when Frech stunned the world—and himself—by winning the 100-meter T63 race for his first Paralympic gold medal.
“I was literally treating this in my head as a shakeout for high jump,” Frech said on the NBC broadcast after the win. “I’m going to run my all, lean at the line and see where I end up. I crossed the line, had no idea, looked up and saw my name first. Not what I was expecting but damn, am I hyped.
