Two Filipino Paralympians experienced different fates on Friday at the 2024 Paris Games.

Wheelchair racer Jerrold Mangliwan will advance to the final of the Men's 400-meter T52 following a top-4 finish in his heat, while para archer Agustina Bantiloc was sent home after falling to Brazil's Jane Karla Gogel, 127-143, in the women's individual compound open - round of 16.

Mangliwan's 1:05.79 clocking at the Stade de France was enough to propel him to the gold medal match on Saturday, 1:12 a.m.

The pride of Tabuk, Kalinga, a gold medalist in the same event in last year's Hangzhou Asian Para Games, has a chance for a redemption arc after missing the podium at the Tokyo Paralympic Games in 2021.

Meanwhile, despite bowing out early, Bantiloc still placed 28th in the ranking round after setting a season-best of 618 in 72 arrows.
