Luanda — The threefold Paralympics record holder the Angolan José Sayovo and the US retired sprinter Michael Johnson on Thursday in Luanda staged the highest moment of the visit paid by the American athlete to the country, with the contest of the non-competitive of the two 100-meter races at Luanda's Coqueiros stadium.

The much expected friendly race that brought together the two runners was won by the Angolan visually impaired athlete (class T11).
