    Paralympic Swimming - 'I can't stop crying'published at 22:11 British Summer Time 11 September 2016

    Amy Marren wins bronze in the women's 200m individual medley SM9

    This is emotional. Amy Marren burst into tears as she is interviewed by Channel 4, moments after winning a bronze medal in the women's 200m individual medley SM9.

    The 18-year-old says: "It has been a long four years with a lot of ups and downs. To be in the top three, I can't stop crying. This year I found my love for swimming again.

    "There has been a lot of self doubt, I don't know how I did it and I'm standing here with a bronze medal.

    "I have found my love for the sport again. I can't tell you how much this means to me."

    After the athletes complete their races here at the stadium, they do a series of interviews with various broadcast and written media from all around the world.

    While some of the interviews are done trackside, most of them are carried out in a not-very glamorous room underneath the stands. And so far, in three days of competition we've seen the whole gamut of emotions from the athletes.

    Britain's Sammi Kinghorn came through after her T53 400m race and stopped to talk to BBC Radio 5 live, trying to remain positive after finishing sixth in her debut Paralympics.

    But she was left disappointed after she discovered she had been disqualified for a false start - and so she must now go and focus on the 800m later in the programme.

    That was absolutely brilliant. That last length was so nail-biting. It was anyone's race.

    Every single part of Amy would have been hurting.

    That was an incredible performance from Amy Marren after what she has been through, even wondering if she wanted to carry on swimming. 

    Getting here was an achievement, qualifying was an achievement and now she's got a medal to go with it.

    Bronze medal - Amy Marren (GB)published at 21:59 British Summer Time 11 September 2016

    Women's 200m individual medley SM9 final

    It is bronze for British teenager Amy Marren in the women's 200m individual medley SM9 final.

    Marren, 18, was second at the halfway point and held the lead with 25m to go, but could not hold on as she was pipped by gold medallist Lin Ping of China and then Sarai Gascon of Spain, who sneaked the silver.

    But it is still a first Paralympic medal from the Essex-based swimmer, who began swimming competitively in 2009 after being inspired by Ellie Simmonds' performances during the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.

    Marren, who was born without a right hand, had narrowly missed out on a medal at London 2012, coming fourth in the 400m freestyle S9 event.

    The 20-year-old, who has cerebral palsy caused by the umbilical cord wrapping around his neck at birth, comes fifth out of five and won't progress as one of the two fastest losers.

    There is to be no 13th Paralympic medal for James Crisp, as he finishes eighth in the men's 200m individual medley SM9, but his strongest event, the 100m backstroke is still to come.

    Federico Morlacchi, who has hypoplasia [incomplete tissue development] in his left leg, takes the gold.

    And it is a very, very special one for him and his country as that is Italy's first gold medal of the 2016 Paralympics.

    Kinghorn actually mentioned that she spotted her mate in the field during her race and was able to flash a smile - very casual.

    Great British duo Amy Marren and Claire Cashmore go for the medals in the women's 200m individual medley SM9 final shortly.

    Marren, who is only 18, won World Championship gold in this event in Montreal in 2013, while Cashmore (pictured) is aiming for her seventh Paralympic medal, but what would be her first gold.

    Next up though in the pool, is Britain's James Crisp in the men's version.

    Britain's Sammi Kinghorn had finished sixth in the T53 400m final - but we're hearing she's been disqualified for a lane infringement.

    Plenty of time left in the career of the 20-year-old - she'll be back.

    Tatyana McFadden on Channel 4 after winning T54 400m gold: "My start wasn't very good. It took me 200m to get going to so I relied on my kick at the end. I ran for America and my family and friends back home and I'm so excited to win that gold."

    We knew the 100m was always the weakest of Tatyana McFadden's events, even though she's the world record holder.

    It's a different matter when you've got one lap of a track. That woman has so much power and looked fantastic.

    Absolute discipline from Tatyana McFadden - she's off the lead after the first 200m but manages her own race and explodes away going into the final turn to demolish the field.

    That's gold number one of, you would think, many in Rio - and 12 Paralympic medals in her career.

    Compatriot Cheri Masden took silver with China's Zou Lihong third.
