    Quickly to the Para-table tennis.

    Britain's Ellie Challis celebrated her first Paralympic gold last night, winning the S3 50m backstroke, and later tonight she goes for another in the 100m freestyle.

    The 20-year-old is already a familiar face to Parisians, featuring on posters promoting meningitis awareness at Nanterre-Prefecture RER train station, which is a short walk from La Defense Arena.

    After contracting meningitis at 16 months old, Challis had her legs amputated above the knee, and arms below the elbow, to save her life. Her heart stopped twice and she was given just a 5% chance of survival.

    As the poster says, Ellie 1 Meningite 0.

    Incidentally, the other athletes on the poster above are French swimmer Theo Curin and Italian sprinter Davide Morana.

    GB wheelchair fencer Dimitri Coutya made light work of moving into round three of the men's sabre B repechage.

    A 15-5 win over USA's Noah Hanssen was the perfect way to respond following the Londoner’s earlier quarter-final defeat.

    Two more repechage victories would see Coutya battle it out for a bronze medal.

    The competition is nearly two hours behind schedule here at the Grand Palais - with the last final of the night originally set for 22:05 local time anyway - could be a late one!

    Back to the tennis and now it feels like the Dutch are being rushed into mistakes.

    The sound of clattering wheels punctuates each rally peppered with shouts of 'me' or 'you'.

    Hewett and Reid have their game faces on now. They want this done. The first set took 30 minutes. These five games have taken 45. We go on.

    With two golds from two events (100m and 200m freestyle) in Paris already in her pocket, Tully Kearney is going for a hat-trick later.

    The 27-year-old headed into the Games as the fastest in the world this year in the S5 50m backstroke with a personal best of 40.99 seconds.

    She was sixth fastest in qualifying this morning, clocking 43.89, with China's defending champion Lu Dong going under 40 seconds with 39.48.

    Just to say, it appears there is a bit of a delay to the wheelchair fencing programme.

    Piers Gilliver's semi-final in the men's sabre A was down in the schedule as a 16:10 BST start, but the contests that were scheduled for 15:30 BST are yet to get under way.
