When you're good, you're good.

Michael McKillop brought his personal tally to four Paralympic gold medals on Sunday when he blew the T37 field away and stormed to 1500m glory. The Antrim native strolled over the line a full four seconds clear of his next competitor and he did it so comfortably that he didn't even bother to glance over his shoulder. 4:12.11 was the Ireland legend's time, having slowed up a good 30 metres out from the line and all. https://twitter.com/JOEdotie/status/774988463640838148 McKillop suffers from a mild form of cerebral palsy. He is a special talent that gets better and better with every passing year and this now marks his fourth Paralympic gold medal medal in this his third Games. And, oh, that's right, he's only 26. https://twitter.com/ParalympicsIRE/status/774987287847395329
