LONDON — Canadian Liam Stanley has qualified for the men’s T38 800-metre final at the world para athletics championships.

His time set an area record. The six-racer final is set for Sunday at London Stadium in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
“It’s not bad to run an area record in the heat but I was just trying to qualify for the final,” said Stanley.
