Masvingo win Paralympic games

The defending champions and hosts of the 2009 Paralympic games, Masvingo, last week reclaimed their title after winning the competition with a total of 67 medals.

A collection of 33 gold, 21 silver and 13 bronze medals empowered Masvingo to prove a force to reckon with having clinched the championship title, last year, in Bulawayo.

The hosts from the previous edition, Bulawayo, trailed behind Masvingo in the medals table with a total of 21 medals -12 gold, seven silver, two bronze medals.

Manicaland will be the hosts of next years edition of the showcase. They will be hoping to utilize their home-ground advantage to push a commendable performance from last week, to greater heights. Manicaland ended third having scooped 12 gold, four silver and two bronze medals.

Harare ended a disappointing fifth, behind fourth placed Midlands.
