Spectators braved a rainy day in Tokyo to watch the Paralympics marathons during the final day of the Games, Sunday.

Olympic officials could be seen patrolling the fences lining the marathon route to dissuade bystanders from standing close to one another and watching the event, as the Japanese capital battles a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Tokyo 2020 featured five marathon events, two for women, three for men, with Switzerland, Australia, Morroco, China and Japan winning gold.

On the final day of the Paralympics, China has already secured first place in the medal table.
