    It's been a real step up for Sammi Kinghorn. The crowd, the preparation, everything is so different with this quality of race.

    What I think she can take away from this is her last 150 metres was really solid. She doesn't have some of the top-end speed and endurance but that will come. She will learn so much from this race

    She's hugely ambitious and wants to be the best in the world. At the moment she is taking steps. She is getting better every time she races but today has shown there is a gap for her to get onto the podium.

    Paralympic Swimming - gold again after 16 years?published at 21:34 British Summer Time 11 September 2016

    Men's 200m individual medley SM9 (21:45 BST)

    Not many competitors get the chance to win a gold medal 16 years after their last one, but that is the situation facing James Crisp tonight.

    The 33-year-old has won 12 Paralympic medals at the 2000, 2004 and 2012 Games (he missed 2008 because of a shoulder injury) and has an incredible haul of three golds, six silvers and three bronzes.

    Crisp, who contracted polio as a child, won all his golds at Sydney in 2000, including in the men's 200 individual medal SM 9, the event he will be racing in tonight.

    It's been a scorching hot day in Rio but the sun is slowly setting over the athletics stadium as the start of the evening's action gets closer.

    There are two really good medal chances for GB tonight - Jo Butterfield in the F51 club throw and Richard Whitehead in the T42 200m and both are world champions in their respective events.

    Four-time London champion David Weir makes his first appearance of Rio 2016 in the heats of the T54 400m along with Richard Chiassaro.

    And American Tatyana McFadden goes in the women's T54 400m final as she hopes to win the first of six golds.

    Sometime soon, Great Britain's Jordanne Whiley, along with fellow Brit Lucy Shuker, plays the Chilean pair of Macarena Cabrillana and Francisca Mardones in the quarter-finals of the wheelchair tennis women's doubles.

    "I'm aiming for two golds, nothing less," she told BBC's Nikki Fox in a recent Car Share clip.
