Australian Paralympic runner Jaryd Clifford said he was "devastated" after being stripped of his bronze medal in the T13 5000-meter final for vision-impaired athletes.

Clifford took to Instagram to share his heartbreak after it was determined that the tether to his guide Matt Clarke was released just shy of the finish line, resulting in disqualification.

He wrote:

“I’m absolutely devastated that we made such a critical mistake out there today."
"Remaining tethered is a fundamental rule in guiding and I’m shattered that I lost my mind in those final metres."
"I felt good, I have so much more to give and I promise I’ll bring everything I’ve got for the 1500m on Tuesday."

Clifford then thanked all of his fans and loved ones for their outpouring of support.

"I’m feeling so much love, I’ve got a great team of people around me."
"Sport can be a cruel beast at times, but the tough times are what make the good times so great."

The three-time Paralympic medalist finished his post by expressing his gratitude for his guides Tim Logan, who ran with him the first 2000 meters, and Clarke.

"Couldn’t be prouder to have worn the Australian singlet alongside my best mates @timlogann and @mattiiclarke ❤️"

Unfortunately, Clifford barely missed out on a bronze yet again on Tuesday, coming in fourth by just .01 of a second in the 1500-meter final.

Clifford previously took home two silvers and a bronze from Tokyo and broke the world record for the T12 1500-meter event in 2021.

After the 1500, he told reporters:

“It’s almost so ridiculous that it’s funny."
“I get DQ’d in the last meter and [miss bronze again by] 0.01. It’s crazy that it’s three years of work and the last meter of both races can define all of that."
"It’s pretty brutal."

We're just gutted for him, but we're glad he's taking it all in stride.

Megyn Kelly Tells 'Homicidal Maniac' Lindsey Graham To 'STFU' About Iran War In Brutal Rant

Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly criticized South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday, calling him a "homicidal maniac" and demanding he "shut the f**k up" following his calls for intervention in Cuba and for President Donald Trump to join Israel in attacking the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

In particular, Graham urged Middle Eastern partners to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling countries such as Saudi Arabia to “up your game.” He also criticized Spain after its leadership strongly opposed the attacks on Iran. Graham said Spain had “lost your way,” and called on the U.S. to cut ties with the country and withdraw its military air base from Spanish territory.
