Australia's Jaryd Clifford has won a second Paralympic track and field medal, adding a bronze in the men's 1500m to his haul.

World record holder Clifford went into the T13 1500m on Tuesday as a gold medal favourite after being pipped in the 5000m.

But Russia's Anton Kuliatin surged down the final stretch with 22-year-old Clifford unable to go with him.

Tunisia's Rouay Jebabli held Clifford at bay to win silver.

Kuliatin's time of three minutes 54.04 seconds was way off Clifford's world best mark of 3.41.34, set in Canberra in March this year.

Fellow Australian Sam Harding finished 11th in the final.
