PARIS — The streak is over for the Brazilian men's blind football team. The Brazilians had never lost in 20 years of Paralympic competition — until rival Argentina beat them 4-3 in a penalty shootout to reach the final. Earlier in the day, the Iranian men's sitting volleyball beat Egypt to advance to the gold medal match. The seven-time Paralympic champions will go for their third straight gold in Friday's final against Bosnia-Herzegovina. American Oksana Masters did it again Thursday, claiming her ninth career Paralympic gold medal and 19th overall in the women's H5 road race, a kneeling handcycling category.
