Beth Munro says she is "truly devastated" not to win a medal at these Paralympics after losing in the K44 -65kg repechage to Denmark's Lisa Gjessing.

The 31-year-old, ranked number one in the world, was beaten 10-2 by Gjessing, who pipped her to gold in the -58kg category at the Tokyo Games three years ago.

"That felt like the Tokyo final all over again," said Munro.

"I went out with a gameplan and I probably wasn't quick enough to change it. I knew what side to maybe go and clinch and she was really good at blocking that side. We all have a disadvantage with our arms so we aim for that side, which is not a nice thing to say but that's the sport we're in. When it's not working, you shouldn't continue it. She did well to close off the gaps and score coming in.

"I'm truly devastated not to be walking away with a medal but that's sport, that's taekwondo. It just didn't go my way today and it's on me."

In Para-archery, Nathan MacQueen recorded a 142-138 victory over Slovakia's Martin Doric in the round of 16 of the men's individual compound.

MacQueen will now face Iran's Nori Hadi in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

MacQueen: “It went fairly well. My heart was in my mouth a little bit. I started pretty well but I was really emotional - I don’t know if it was because my family were out there. It feels like I’ve won the Paralympics and I’ve only won my first match. But here’s to the rest of it, we’ll put on a good show. On his family watching:“My wife and son are here, as well as my sister, brother, mother and father. I cried a little bit and I was like oh no if I start crying it’ll affect my shooting.” On the bad weather:“We excel in shooting in the rain. It’s our weather. If it’s like this for the rest of the week I’ll be laughing.”

Beth Munro was cheered on by about 70 friends and family who had travelled to Paris to watch her, having been unable to see her win silver in Tokyo because of the Covid restrictions.

After a shock loss to China's Yao Yanin in the quarter-final earlier today ended her gold medal chances, Munro said she got a lift from speaking to them before her repechage bout.

"I gave them a call in between because of the element of guilt and disappointment - you feel like you've let people down," she said. "The reassurance from my mum was 'I'm always going to be proud of you whatever happens' and I suppose you just need to hear that from your mum sometimes."

Asked whether she would consider continuing to the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, Munro said the next few weeks would be a time for "rest, recuperation and reflection" as she prepared for some life changes, including moving in with her boyfriend.

"I've got a good few weeks off now to go away and reflect, she said. "If come those five or six weeks I've got that burning desire, which I suppose being competitive I will, you might see me in the near future, definitely."

Maisie Summers-Newton spoke to Channel 4 after winning gold in the women's SM6 200m individual medley.

"I was really nervous. I come with a lot of self-doubt, no matter how hard we train in the pool, no matter how well I swim throughout the season.

"When I got in and I could see how close I was to some of the girls, that are usually ahead of me on the fly and on the back, I thought ‘you’re in a really good place here’.

"I just can’t believe it. It’s been such an amazing three years since Tokyo. Finishing my university degree, carrying on my swimming alongside that and now defending my Paralympic title."

Krysten Coombs holds his nerve to edge a tight deciding game!

Having made an excellent start to his second group match in the para-badminton men's singles SH6, the Briton was taken to a deciding game by Indonesia's Subhan Subhan.

But Coombs has won the third game 21-18 to keep alive his hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

Tully Kearney just won her second gold medal in Paris, and spoke to Channel 4 afterwards:

"[It's] pretty incredible. I was a bit concerned about this one. To retain my title means everything to me."

On a quick turnaround after winning gold yesterday: “It was such a late night and early start and not long in between to rest. It was really hard for all of us who swam last night to keep the energy up.

"This crowd is incredible. Because I am the first event tonight, there’s way more people here than there were yesterday. They gave me that big push."

Did you dream you could come away with two gold medals at these Games?

"No definitely not. I’m just so grateful for the team for helping me get here and for everyone that’s helped us get here."

Maisie Summers-Newton has won gold in the SM6 women's 200m individual medley final for ParalympicsGB!

What a performance.

At halfway, Summers-Newton was just over a second behind United States' Ellie Marks, but from the second half, went completely clear of Marks and the rest of the pack.

A time of 2:56.90 gives her a victory of more than five and a half seconds, just over two tenths behind her own Paralympic record.

Marks takes second for the United States and Daomin Liu finishes in third for China.

Grace Harvey was excellent for ParalympicsGB too, finishing in fourth.

There are more medal opportunities for ParalympicsGB in the next final in the pool, the women's SM6 200 metre individual medley final.

Both Grace Harvey and Maisie Summers-Newton, the world record holder in this event, are in action.

Fun fact, earlier this year, Maisie Summers-Newton was on placement at a primary school as part of her teacher training.

Yang Hong has won gold for China in the men's SM6 200 metre individual medley final.

In doing so, he's also broken his own world record. Yang has broken his own world record by just over two tenths of a second.

Nelson Crispin Cozo finished in second for Colombia to win silver, while in bronze, Talisson Henrique Glock takes the bronze.

Bruce Dee, who was seventh at halfway, had a brilliant second half for ParalympicsGB and finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a medal.

There will be no Paralympics medal for Beth Munro this time as she is beaten 10-2 by Denmark's Lisa Gjessing in the K44 -65kg repechage.

It was a repeat of the Paralympic -58kg final from three years ago, which Gjessing also won.

Munro came into these Games ranked number one in the world and that's a desperately disappointing day for the Merseysider after a shock loss in the quarter-final earlier.

In the S4 men's 100 metre freestyle final, Ami Dadaon has just claimed the gold medal with a victory by more than a second, narrowly missing out on world record time.

Takayuki Suzuki from Japan takes the silver and bronze goes to Angel de Jesus Camacho Ramirez of Mexico.

Next up is the SM6 men's 200m individual relay and Bruce Dee from ParalympicsGB is among the finalists.

Tully Kearney wins her second gold in as many days at the Paralympics for GB!

That was an excellent race from Kearney, who holds the world record in this event.

She was second at halfway, but just like her performance in last night's 200m final, the turn is where she makes the difference. A big spring off the wall and a fast finish.

Iryna Poida of Ukraine finished second, just over two seconds behind Kearney. Monica Bogginoi of Italy takes the bronze.

That was an emotional win for Oleksandr Komarov of Ukraine in the night's opening race.

He is from Mariupol and was in the city when the Russian bombing started.

He hasn't been able to train there, but his coach remains in the country and the pair only speak by phone.

The first of tonight's 14 finals in the pool has just finished and Ukraine's Oleksandr Komarov has won gold in the S5 men's 100m freestyle final.

China's Guo Jincheng takes the silver and Kirill Pulver is the bronze medallist on behalf of the Neutral Paralympic Athletes.

Next up is the women's final in this event and Great Britain's Tully Kearney, who won gold in the 200m yesterday, is in action.

It is one thing to defend a Paralympic title. It is quite another when you get hit by a car in Paris a week before.

Jaco van Gass was talking in the mixed zone after winning the men's C3 3,000m individual pursuit:

"I had a little accident last Friday, we did a recce of the road course last week, a car pulled out in front of me and I went over the bonnet.

"We went through significant concussion protocols, I took a day off to let my body settle, then I was back on the bike.

"I was heartbroken, I literally thought this could be my Paralympics done.

"Other people saw me, they helped calm me down.

"The next day is always the hardest as the body settles down, the Saturday was very hard to kind of comprehend - would I be riding?

"By Sunday I was riding on the track again."

GB's Krysten Coombs is back in para-badminton action, looking to respond after an opening defeat yesterday.

Coombs' opponent, Subhan Subhan, of Indonesia, put himself in a great position to qualify after his win on Thursday.

But it is the Briton who has made the stronger start, dominating the first game to take it 21-15.
