Bejino misses out on second final round
MANILA, Philippines — Para swimmer Gary Bejino failed to qualify for the final in his second Tokyo Paralympics event, finishing 7th in the first heat of the Men's 50-meter Butterfly S6 at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Monday.
Bejino finished 14 among 16 swimmers with a time of 36.14, roughly 0.33 seconds faster than his time of 36.47 in the same event in the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships.
In his heat, Bejino finished 7th, but most of the Heat 2 swimmers dominated the event, the majority finishing in the top 8, eliminating Bejino from his second swimming event.
Bejino set to compete in two other events, the 400-meter freestyle and the 100-meter backstroke all in the S6 categories this coming September 2 and 3.
