Local legend Brenden Hall has swum in the 100m backstroke S9 heats this afternoon (AEST) at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
Hall, 31, raced in the second heat from lane 7 and was unable to overcome a slow start, finishing sixth with a time of 1:06.90.
It means he has not qualified for tomorrow morning’s final (1.37am AEST).
Fellow Australian Timothy Hodge finished second in his heat with a time of 1:03.02 and will swim in the final from lane 3.
Hall, who grew up in Petrie, went to Pine Rivers State High School and swam at Redcliffe, Lawnton and Burpengary, is competing at his fifth, and possibly last Paralympic Games.
He took bronze in the 400m freestyle S9 on Friday morning and still has the 100m butterfly S9 to go in Paris.
