Thomas Hamer, silver medallist in the men's 200m freestyle S14 final, tells Channel 4: "I came here to win it, but I'm a bit happy and a bit disappointed. It is quite sickening, there was nothing between us."

If there had been two more metres left in that pool Thomas Hamer would have had him. He was coming back at a rate of knots but that has hurt him a lot.

And it is silver for Thomas Hamer and Great Britain, their third swimming medal in the last 40 minutes.

The 18-year-old from Manchester was second halfway and ended strongly, but just missed out on the gold. He is only 0.26 seconds behind Woi Lok Tang of China, who holds on for the gold.

Hamer started swimming when he was only five and this was his first Paralympics.

Clare finished seventh in the Women's PT4 triathlon earlier...

There have been two quickfire Paralympic medals in the pool for Great Britain with bronze for Amy Marren (women's 200m individual medley SM9) and silver for Rebecca Redfern (women's 100m breaststroke SB13).

And now there is another British hope, this time in the form of 18-year-old Thomas Hamer from Manchester.

He won his heat and goes in the men's 200m freestyle S14 final shortly. However, the home fans will be hoping Felipe Vila Real will be the man in gold medal position.

I think my heart rate was nearly as high as David Weir's. That was a very nice 400m but he did give me little bit of cause for concern at the 200m mark. It looked like his hand speed was at its maximum but as he came round the bend he found another gear. That was a very impressive performance.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy for David Weir.

He was in front going into the second bend and and was even more in front by the time he crossed the line.

He coasts into tomorrow's final at 14:16 BST, beating the rest of the field by around a second.

And David Weir turns his first wheel in anger in Rio - he's out of the blocks...

American wheelchair racer Tatyana McFadden has started her gold rush with victory in the T54 400m.

McFadden had been bidding for seven golds here but missed out in the T54 100m on Friday, probably her weakest event, finishing second to China's Liu Wenjun.

But the woman known as the Beast is back to winning ways, beating compatriot Cheri Madsen by over a second - only five more golds to go!

Richard Chiassaro is desperate to take all of David Weir's British records but he also wants to win on the bigger stage.

David Weir is a man who needs little introduction.

Six-time Paralympic gold medallist.

Six-time world champion.

Six-time London Marathon winner.

And as of today, a four-time daddy - baby Lenny Weir was born earlier. Need to get cracking with two more David, to match the other achievements.

He will, of course, want to add to his gold medal haul and will start that bid by going in his 400m T54 heat imminently.

That was an absolutely fantastic 400m from Richard Chiassaro - controlled, paced, fast. If he can race like that in the final he's going to be in good shape. I think that's the best I've seen him perform.

Britain's Richard Chiassaro heads into the final straight neck and neck with China's Liu Chengming - Liu takes it but no bother as the top two go through to tomorrow's final.

GB's Richard Chiassaro is off in his heat... the top two go through.

British silver medallist Rebecca Redfern has just spoken to Channel 4. She says: "I'm really happy.

"I came into the games not expecting anything and to come out with something is great. I can't deal with it at the moment. I'm so overwhelmed and it has been an amazing experience.

"Being a youngster I know I have all of these to come. It is a good foundation to start on. I'm going for gold in four years' time."

Here comes a guy who's having a year to remember.

2015 ended on a sour note for Richard Chiassaro, when his £8,000 racing wheelchair was vandalised, and that put his Rio selection at risk after missing out in London.

It's all been rosy in 2016 though.

Coached by Jenni Banks, who also coaches Paralympic T34 sprint champion Hannah Cockroft, he won gold in the 200m and silvers in the 100, 400 and 800m at the IPC Athletics European Championships in Italy in June.

In addition, he also broke David Weir's 400m British record, which had stood since 2008.

He's up in the 400m T54 heats.

GB's Kylie Grimes, a former wheelchair rugby player who competed at London 2012, is currently second in the F51 club throw with four athletes still to throw - including her team-mate and world record holder Jo Butterfield.

Grimes' best throw of her three was an 18.75m, short of her PB of 19.07m.

Rebecca Redfern sets a new personal best and it takes her to a silver medal in the women's 100m breaststroke final.

It's not just a personal best time, it is a European record and it was inside the old world record, which she had held.

However, the gold medallist and new world record holder is 15-year-old Fotimakhon Amilova of Uzbekistan, who not just beats the world record but takes a sledgehammer to it. Her time of 1.12.45 is more than one second faster than Redfern's.

The 16-year-old Brit, who hails from Worcester, was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye condition, at the age of nine.
