    Such a great moment for Stephen McGuire, as he leaves the arena to cheers with a Union flag around his neck.

    Soon he'll have a gold medal there too.

    Not sure about the choice of music at the archery in between ends... playing "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue is surely showing favouritism to Australia, right?!

    (This is, of course, written in jest...)

    We’re halfway through this quarter-final and Great Britain have started well.

    Jodie Grinham and Nathan Macqueen lead Australia 76-72, with Grinham scoring 10s with all four of her arrows so far.

    Two more ends stand between the British pair and a potential semi-final.

    After her bronze medal in the women’s compound open, Jodie Grinham is back in the team event.

    She’s seven months pregnant, remember. And she’s having a brilliant Games so far. This time she’s alongside Nathan Macqueen in the mixed team compound open event.

    The British duo got a bye to the quarter-final - where they’re playing Australia right now.

    Stephen McGuire is the men's Boccia BC4 Paralympic champion with an assured 8-5 win the final.

    Colombia's Edilson Chica managed to take the final end 2-0, but in truth the tie was already over after McGuire took five points in the third.

    Stephen McGuire can't get closer to the jack, but he can block.

    He's surrounding the playing area with his final throws. Chica has four throws left, and needs every single one of them to be perfect.

    McGuire allows himself a wry smile.

    Morgan Stickney is hoping to add a Paralympic Games gold medal to her collection when the women's S7 400m freestyle final gets under way at 16:40 BST.

    The 27-year-old American dominated the heats and clocked a new Paralympic record time of four minutes 56.69 seconds.

    She's the firm favourite to claim the title in Paris after taking the crown in this event at the Para-Swimming World Championships in Manchester last year.

    BC4 men's individual final - McGuire 8-3 Chica

    Edilson Chica has to gamble, so he chucks the jack right to the back corner.

    But Stephen McGuire's first throw is clutch, landing short but rolling until it kisses the jack.

    Chica responds though, knocking the Briton's ball out of the way. It's very tight halfway through the final end, but with McGuire's substantial lead, he might already have enough.

    Brilliant from Great Britain's Stephen McGuire who starts by knocking Edilson Chica's blockers out of the way.

    He then uses his last three throws to surround the jack and give himself a formidable five points.

    One end remains in the gold-medal match.

    BC4 men's individual final - McGuire 3-3 Chica

    As you were as we start end three. This time Stephen McGuire is in control of the jack and he throws it as far away from Edilson Chica's starting spot as possible.

    The Colombian then seriously struggles with his long range throws, sending over all six of his balls with only his final throw getting closer to the jack than McGuire's opener.

    The door is open for McGuire who has five unopposed throws in end three to build a substantial lead.

    BC4 men's individual final - McGuire 3-3 Chica

    A 3-0 lead for GB's Stephen McGuire and three ends to go. This time Colombian Edilson Chica starts by throwing the jack super close. How's your short game?

    The second end is a proper see-saw battle with the nearest ball changing from blue to red to blue again.

    But McGuire is all out of throws at the business end, and Chica can sweep up an easy three.

    A brilliant first throw from Great Britain's Stephen McGuire lands just short of the jack and forces Edilson Chica to try and smash his ball out of the way.

    But the Colombian gets it all wrong and nudges McGuire's ball forward so it's touching the jack.

    The Colombian can't get back into the end, uses up all his throws, and after that it's easy street for the Briton who goes into a 3-0 lead.

    Great tune but maybe a bit of an odd choice in Paris...
