Though he’d won gold in this event four years ago, this year he raced against SB9 competitors in the SB8 class, finishing third with a Games record time of 1:11.44. The gold went to Australia’s Beau Matthews, while Canada’s Fernando Lu was disqualified — a last-minute twist that left Willmer scrambling to prepare for media duties. Still, he celebrated the silver, praising his race strategy and embracing the challenge of competing against higher-class athletes, even training with able-bodied swimmers.
