Canadian swimmer Nicholas Bennett wins 200m IM, claiming his 2nd gold of Paris Paralympics




Canadian swimmer Nicholas Bennett won his second gold medal of the Paris Paralympics on Wednesday in the men's SM14 200-metre individual medley.

The 20-year-old from Parksville, B.C., won the race in a Paralympic-record time of 2:06.05 at Paris La Défense Arena.

It's Bennett's third medal in Paris after winning gold in the men's SB14 100m breaststroke and silver in the 200m freestyle.

Bennett is the first Canadian male swimmer to win multiple gold medals at a single Paralympic Games since Benoit Huot at the 2004 Games in Athens.

More to come.
