(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 1 - Giacomo Perini's bronze medal in the
PR1 men's single sculls at the Paralympic Games in Paris has
been suspended.
The Italian had arrived third but the jury decided to disqualify
him after the race.
The Italian delegation is now verifying the motivation to
eventually appeal the decision.
The bronze has now gone to Australia's Erik Horrie.
The 28-year-old had conquered an historic bronze medal for Italy
at the Paralympics after leading most of the competition, only
giving in at the end with Britain's Bejamin Pritchard winning
gold and Ukraine's Roman Polianskyi silver. (ANSA).
