Sinkamba had been due to compete in three events, but ultimately withdrew from two of them and focused all his efforts on the marathon. He completed it, but finished 56th and last, over half an hour behind Ecuador's Angel Quevedo in 55th - and more than an hour and a half behind Franz Nietlispach of Switzerland, who took gold and set a Paralympic record with a time of 1:29:44.[2]
