American track and field athlete Ezra Frech used his head to win the gold medal in the men’s 100m T63 at the Paralympics in Paris on Sept. 2. The 19-year-old earned gold — marking his first medal won in any Paralympic event — with a breathtaking come-from-behind win, punctuated when he leaned his head forward at the finish line. He finished the event in 12.06 seconds, winning by two hundredths of a second over Denmark’s Daniel Wagner, who took second place.
After the event ended, it wasn’t immediately clear who had won, but soon it was confirmed that Frech had indeed taken the gold. “The whole time I was telling myself to stay relaxed,” he told NBC Sports about his mindset during the race. “Stay relaxed, stay relaxed. Big moments, everybody tenses up. If I stay relaxed, I can do something special. And thank God I did.
