PARIS, IDF —
Stockton’s own Roderick Townsend showed he’s still got it at 32 years old with another Paralympic gold medal.
Townsend came into his third Paralympic Games having already won back-to-back gold for Team USA in the high jump in Tokyo and Rio.

The current world record holder added to his medal collection by clearing a season-best 6 feet and 11.5 inches.
The T47 class is for athletes with an upper limb impairment which can result in some loss of function at the shoulder, elbow and wrist, according to Olympics.com.
