The morning of the fifth day at the Komazawa Olympic Park began with track and field, as always. The stadium buzzed with excitement, where emotions ran high in the running and technical events.

Denis Fedorenkov, a renowned high jumper, ventured into the unfamiliar territory of the triple jump and secured a commendable sixth place.

The day's highlight was Ardashir Mumindzhanov's performance. The Deaflympic champion from yesterday finished fourth in the 110-meter hurdles, missing out on the bronze medal by a hair-thin 0.01 seconds. What a thrilling finish!

But there was more joy to come. As predicted, Victoria Aksenova delivered a stunning victory in the 400-meter final. In a tense showdown against Ukrainian athletes, she triumphed by a mere 0.02 seconds, clocking an impressive 55.48. This marks her second Deaflympic gold medal and her first individual honor. Congratulations to Victoria and her coach, Sergei Chelmodeev.

Later in the day, another star was born. Yulia Abubyakirova stormed to victory in the 1500-meter long-distance race. With her strategic prowess, Yulia calmly outdistanced her rivals, securing her first gold at this distance and her fourth Deaflympic medal overall. Her coach, Pavel Glushak, played a significant role in her success. Our heartfelt congratulations to the track and field athletes and their dedicated coaches! The team's gold medal tally now stands at an impressive seven.
