He got WR in the preliminaries. 1 hour later wins gold at the team relay. Now he get WR in the 200M final. What a beast.

[ThatWeirdoRightThere]

His first Paralympics and he already has multiple world records. Such a bright future for Nick

Ran sub 22 with cerebral palsy (in the rain), it’s amazing to watch! How is this not on prime time television? This is the stuff people need to see to bring us together vs the political nonsense that is breaking us all apart.

[armandob.castenelli]

That was amazing Nick. So proud of you young man. Congrats on GOLD!

[lgarcia]

If you think about it these guys are really great athletes. They have a disability, yet he set a wr at 21.91. The fully able, men WR is 19.19. That is 2+ seconds or so. In terms of track and field it is a lot. But in terms of athleticism, they are not too far. Good for them!

Awe he saluted the Goat, way to go nick, I’m so touched by these guys especially the soccer and goal ball, I teared up watching some of these games!

[tamberjune]

I'm so glad he and his brother pushed him and believed in him so much. It must be hard to not have your family there. I'm glad he is doing well. Oreos! Congrats on doing your best

T37 includes people who have coordination impairments such as hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis.

Outstanding athlete. I hope he keeps at it and breaks more records! USA!

[juanl]

What a great person he is and a great athlete.

[peggysmyth]

He runs with strength despite his physical challenge.

[jamrock]

Good job Nick. Folks think Jamaicans and Americans are against each other, but it’s about humility(Ms. Richardson). Wonderful how you paid homage to Usain. I know you will break more records Nick👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[TranswarpXL]

Assuming he sticks with it, he could very well go sub-21.

[horizon]

21.9! Is not a bad time for anyone.. that’s my p.r and I was proud of it lol

[caras]

The Paralympics are more exciting.
It's not about politics, it's about the athletes

[Rosegoldcam]

I wish they’d explain what their disabilities are.

[thefpvlife]

Dear NBC ... Pls stop giving away the outcome in the title.

[MikeDunn]

He said a _sleeve_ of Oreos. Not the whole box. 4:40

[teslacybertruck]

Wait, so what is wrong with him? No disrespect, but he looks healthier than me.

[fdsjlaf]

It's hard not to think of Cartman lol
