In Para-table tennis, seven golds were won in the singles matches at the South Paris Arena today.

Ukraine’s world champion Viktor Didukh claimed the Paralympic title from the defending champion China’s Zhao Shuai 3-2 in the men’s MS8 final.

Fortunes were reversed in the women’s WS8 final when China’s Asian Para Games champion Huang Wenjuan overpowered Norway’s Aida Husic Dahlen 3-0.

In the men’s MS9, Belgium’s defending two-time Paralympic champion Laurens Devos beat home favourite France’s Lucas Didier 3-0.

Germany’s Sandra Mikolaschek took down Serbia’s Rio 2016 champion Borislava Peric-Rankovic 3-1 in the women’s WS4.

Iraq’s Najlah Al-Dayyeni also celebrated gold in the women’s WS6 when she beat Ukraine’s Maryna Lytovchenko 3-1.

In the women’s WS9, Poland’s European champion Karolina Pek came out on top in a fiercely fought contest against China’s Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Xiong Guiyan. Pek wept and hugged her coach after she hit the winner to finish 3-2.

And in the last Para-table tennis final in Paris, Korea’s Rio 2016 Paralympic champion Young-Gun Kim was jubilant after he won the men’s MS4. The 39-year-old beat Thailand’s Wanchai Chaiwut in a deciding fifth game 3-2.

Chris Skelley won the bronze medal in the men's +90kg J2 category, beating Indonesia's Tony Ricardo Mantolas 10-0: “It was a tough day. I had a really good semi-final against (Ibrahim) Bolukbasi and it was so, so close.

"I was really annoyed that I didn’t win that. In my head it was about pressure, I knew I could beat that guy all day long but the demons come out in your head and make you question yourself. So it’s good to get the win.”

On his build-up: “If you had said to me six months ago that I would step onto the mat in Paris, I’d have bitten your hand off. It’s been a very tough six months for me, mentally and physically.

"I’m so pleased that I’ve come through it a stronger person. On any other day, I feel like I could have been in that final. But two-time Paralympic medallist, if you’d told me that four years ago, I’d have bitten your hand off. I’m really happy."

Here are the thoughts of ParalympicsGB's wheelchair fencers, who picked up bronze in the men’s team epee event earlier today, beating Poland 45-28.

Dimitri Coutya on coming away from Paris with four medals: "I always find the Games so incredible. Three or four years of your life go into five days of competition. It’s horribly gruelling but I’m really proud of what we have all put in.

"It’s really tough to come away with a Paralympic medal so this is a feat we should all be very proud of. I’m very proud to call these guys my team-mates.”

Oliver Lam-Watson on winning bronze: “Sometimes we get focused on ‘the only thing is gold’ as we aim for that and when you don’t achieve it, it’s really tough. It was a really tough moment for all of us in different ways. Dimi (Coutya) is doing his fifth day on the trot.

"To lose that (semi-final) fight and then turn it around for the bronze medal fight is really difficult, so I’m really proud of these guys and myself as well. We were all able to go out there and give it everything. In the last fight of the Games for us, that’s all you can ask for.”

Piers Gilliver on bouncing back from losing his individual gold medal match on Friday: “It has been tough, it was hard to get over the loss yesterday.

"But that’s the beauty of having a great team like this, we help each other through tough patches and bounce back.”

Whichever way this final goes, it will yield Great Britain's 20th medal of the day.

Two quick scores from GB narrow the gap right on half-time.

It's a thrilling, topsy-turvy final.

You can't give Steve Serio an inch. He's as cool as a cucumber, inside the circle and nets once more.

Problems for GB as they call a timeout with 90 seconds left in the second quarter.

GB are taking risks, throwing men forward. USA aren't capitalising on the counter-attack, for the moment.

Steve Serio can smell a third Olympic gold medal. This is his final match before international retirement and he's planning on going out with a bang, hitting another three under pressure.

USA are flexing. Jake Williams looks particularly clutch on the right wing.

Back to it. Gregg Warburton cuts the deficit to three, but US captain Steve Serio is on a mission, grabbing two and then setting up Jake Williams to give his side a seven-point lead.

Another Para-athletics medal for Great Britain to tell you about...

Ndidikama Okoh, on her Paralympics debut, has run a personal best of 14.59 seconds to finish third in the women's T63 100m final.

It was an extraordinary ending, with Ambra Sabatini falling in the final stages and taking out fellow Italian Monica Contrafatto, who ended up finishing fourth, one one-hundredth of a second behind Okoh.

What a finish from the USA! Steve Serio sinks a clutch three and then Trevor Jenifer grabs a two on the counter.

GB's hard work = undone

It's end to end and very, very close. Gregg Warburton grabs a two and we're even again with 40 seconds left in the first quarter.

Back to it and GB's Phil Pratt gets his first score of the game with an easy one under the hoop.

Suddenly no one can sink one. GB have three chances to level the score but each shot bounces out off the rim.

Peeeep! Timeout.

Lee Manning is the man in form for Great Britain, palming over his latest two.

At the other end Jake Williams is given far too much room and is able to bury the first three of the game.

GB respond with a three of their own through Gregg Warburton.

And what's this? Other end and Williams hit another three. Then Warburton does the same once more. It's a three-point shootout.

They're very good, the USA, zipping the ball at speed amd creating space out of nowhere.

GB concede their umpteenth early foul and Jake Williams nets the free throws.

Brilliant play from USA's Jake Williams who steals and then leads a counter, finishing with an easy lay-up.

It's a strong spell for the US. GB look nervy.

Nice. The very first points go to GB as Lee Manning sinks one from close range.

And we're off! USA are looking for their 10th gold medal. GB are after their very first.
