A 50-year-old Kazakh woman has won her country's first-ever medal at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Gabidullina took nearly a second off the previous world record in the S3 class, for athletes with amputations, no use of their legs or severe coordination difficulties, finishing in 43.22 seconds. Previously a wheelchair racer, she only took up swimming in her 30s.
