Jan Riapos from Slovakia, 55, became one of the Paralympic Games' oldest gold medalists as he and partner Peter Lovas won the men's doubles table tennis MD4 final at the South Paris Arena on Saturday.
"I felt peace inside," said Riapos, who is also chairperson of the Slovakia Paralympic Committee, and has become the most decorated Slovak Olympic or Paralympic athlete. "Peace in my heart, peace in my soul, peace in my body. I felt strong."
