    The dressage taking place in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles sounds scenic, even romantic. Not so much this morning, when torrential rain pounded down on the uncovered stands.

    Only a handful of spectators braved the conditions for the Grade III individual event this morning and even fewer journalists braved the press tribune. In fact, I was the only one there - and I forgot my coat.

    I was not feeling the glamour and romance of the Paris Games as I slumped my sodden self back to the press centre after watching Natasha Baker compete - although another medal for Great Britain helped matters.

    And, glory be, the rain has eased up in time for the Grade I event this afternoon.

    It's the first of five days of wheelchair fencing competition in Paris, with four gold medals to be decided today.

    Three British athletes are in action; Piers Gilliver (men's sabre category A), Dimitri Coutya (men's sabre category B - pictured above) and Gemma Collis (women's sabre category A).

    Of course we're behind every one of our ParalympicsGB athletes, but we at BBC Sport are especially proud and excited to see Gemma, one of our BBC staff colleagues, competing in Paris.

    Gilliver and Coutya will be in quarter-final action later, while Collis has just lost her last-16 contest but will head into the repechage rounds.

    It wasn't to be for Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock in the men's T64 100m final on Monday night.

    The 31-year-old said "2017 Jonnie is the guy he needs to find" to compete with the world's best after finishing fifth in Paris.

    The two-time Paralympic champion made a fine start out of the blocks, but was overtaken in the latter stages of the race and eventually crossed the line in 10.91 seconds as Costa Rica's Sherman Guity took gold with a Paralympic record time of 10.65.

    Speaking after his race, Peacock asked for the help of World Athletics president Lord Coe to make para-athletics more "visible" as he called for his event to be included on the programme of future Diamond League meets.

    "Seb Coe, I need you, we need you. And we need you to put us in the actual Diamond Leagues. Not a cheerleader event, not five minutes before the cameras turn on, but when the cameras are on. We need to be visible," he said.

    "Paralympics, we need to stop letting it die. We've let it die over a few years. So much of the media at the moment would argue about visibility representation. Well, then, where are we? Where are we in the Diamond Leagues? I've been calling on this for how many years now? 12 years? Not once in 12 years have we been in the programme. Why?

    "I want to go into the Diamond Leagues. And I think it's about time."

    'More experience and a strong mental game' - Grinhampublished at 14:34 British Summer Time 3 September

    Mixed team compound final - gold

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    After winning their Para-archery golds, Jodie Grinham and Nathan Macqueen spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live.

    Asked what they would tell their younger selves, Grinham, born with a condition that affected her limb growth said:

    "I know from conversations that Nathan and I have had, I knew that if we were to go back 10 years and say ‘this is what you’ll be doing’ we’d say ‘no, definitely not’.

    "We’re both very strong headed, stubborn individuals and there’s no way on earth if you told us that we would be performing at the highest level, promoting disability in sport we would have said ‘no, that’s not us’.

    "I’ve put a lot of hard work in. I came into these games with a lot more experience, a lot more of a strong mental game so I knew that if I just kept my shots good I would be medalling, and then my partner Nathan and I were able to go out there and smash it and become champions."

    Great Britain followed up their record-breaking super Sunday by winning six more gold medals on day five as ParalympicsGB continued their bountiful Games at Paris 2024.

    Among them, archer Jodie Grinham, competing while seven months pregnant, won gold in mixed team compound open final alongside team-mate Nathan Macqueen.

    It was a second medal in Paris for Grinham after she beat team-mate Phoebe Paterson Pine to win women's individual compound bronze on Saturday.

    Individual event - Grade II

    Bronze medallist Georgia Wilson had admitted it is getting tougher for Great Britain to dominate Para-equestrian like they used to.

    Britain have won the most gold medals in Para-equestrian at every Games since 1996 - when it was introduced - and have 34 in total. USA, second in the all-time gold table, have nine.

    But so far today it is the Americans who have won both golds, while GB have had to settle for back-to-back bronzes.

    Grade II world number one Fiona Howard won gold on Diamond Dunes with a score of 76.931, while Denmark’s Katrine Kristensen took silver on Goerklintgaards Quarter with 73.966. Wilson and horse Sakura scored 73.414.

    “I knew coming in it was very rare [unlikely] for me to get a medal and hard work if I was to get one,” said Wilson. “But everyone is just getting better and better."

    It's another busy day of Para-table tennis, with Rio gold medallist Will Bayley among the British stars in action in the late session on Tuesday. He plays in the quarter-finals of the men's MS7 singles at about 17:30 BST.

    Earlier, Josh Stacey reached the last eight of the MS9 singles with a three-games-to-one win over Lev Kats of Ukraine.

    "I thought I played well," he said. "If you're at 8-8 or 9-9 and that's when you play the correct table tennis for those crucial two points, then the substance of the rest of the set doesn't matter as much. And that's what happened today, I played well in those key areas and a win shows that."

    Natasha Baker won bronze in the Grade III Para-equestrian this morning, but said the medal did not matter compared to the feeling of competing again after 20 months out.

    These Games are the first major competition for six-time Paralympic champion Baker, 34, since she gave birth to son Joshua in April 2023.

    And Baker said, in an at-times tearful interview, that being able to compete on her horse Dawn Chorus - who she calls Lottie - in front of her young family was the most important thing.

    Asked about winning a medal, she said: "I don't really care. If you had told me I was even going to be selected for Paris last Christmas, I would have laughed in your face. To come back is testament to my amazing team, I feel so fortunate and grateful to have this amazing opportunity to show the world how amazing Lottie is. So, who cares what the results are, I'm so happy with her.

    "It was really hard [to get back in the saddle]. I think I was naive about the pregnancy, coming back from it. My pregnancy was harder than I imagined it would be, I knew it would be a challenge physically and I knew getting back on it would take time.

    “But Lottie has so much movement and power, when I got her it took me a year to sit through her trot. But I knew if I was coming back, she would be the one to get me to this position. I call her Mary Poppins, she is practically perfect in every way.

    "I'm not as fit as I was in Tokyo, I'm juggling being the best mum I can be and the best athlete I can be. The juggle is real, you know on your computer when you have a million tabs open, that's my brain at all times, anyone who is a mum will understand."

    World number one Rebecca Hart took gold for USA on Floratina, while silver went to Dutch rider Rixt van der Horst on Royal Fonq.
