The first reaction to his start was shaped by frustration, as Wetekam admitted itself: “When I saw after 85 meters that the Italian and the Russian were on the lanes in front of me, I just thought: shit. It was a mega fighter at the back.” His fighting spirit and the unconditional will not to give up should be his decisive strengths.

It remains to be seen how Wetekam will develop, but the signs stand well for an exciting future on the way to the Paralympic Games. The catalyst could be his previous performance for many other personal records and successes.
