Tetraplegic Kisý, who was fourth in Beijing in 2008 and London 2012, reached 8.25 meters in bronze thanks to a personal record. Elvin Astanov from Azerbaijan won the Paralympic record of 8.77.
Kisý, who has been paralyzed since 1999 after a head-to-head jump, followed on from Saturday’s silver medal of archers David Drahonínský and Šárka Musilová in a mixed doubles competition.
