Rio 2016 Paralympics: Support in Wales 'incredible'

Welsh athletes are among those in Team GB who have been gearing up for the start of the 2016 Paralympic games in Rio.

Some 26 from Wales have been selected for the games, which kick off on Wednesday evening.

Disability Sport Wales said it hoped they would at least equal the 16 medals won by Welsh athletes at the London 2012 games.

Sara Head, who is one of four Welsh members of Team GB's 12-strong table tennis team, said support back home was "incredible".
