(UPDATE) PARIS — Brazilian swimmer Gabrielzinho won a remarkable third swimming gold at the Paris Paralympics on Monday while Italian sprinter Valentina Petrillo became the first openly transgender athlete to compete in the Games.

Sherman Guity of Costa Rica left the world's fastest amputee sprinters in his wake as he won the eagerly awaited men's T64 100 meters (m), while 19-year-old Californian sprinter-jumper Ezra Frech claimed the first of what promises to be many track and field golds.
