    But for Clare Cunningham - who made her Paralympic debut 24 years ago as a swimmer in Barcelona - just making the line-up proved a moving experience. 

    After finishing seventh, the 39-year old said: “I came out the swim in fourth place but I found the bike and run pretty hard in the conditions. I gave it my best shot. 

    "I was pretty emotional at the start and trying to take in the moment. Two months ago I didn’t think I was coming here, so I’ve tried to appreciate the experience.”

    Steadman's ParalympicsGB team-mate Faye McClelland finished fourth, 37 seconds behind American bronze medallist Gladys Lemossu.

    “It was a solid race and a good performance," she said. "My legs were like jelly on that run but I held my position but I just couldn’t close Gladys down. It’s a bit gutting to come fourth but I can’t be disappointed with the way I performed.”

    Para-triathlon

    Here's some reaction from Lauren Steadman to her silver medal in the PT4 para-triathlon earlier. 

    Having led on the bike, the 23-year-old's time of 1:11.43 was eventually more than a minute behind American gold medallist Grace Norman.

    Steadman said: “I went a bit wrong on the swim and I’m really gutted because it cost me about 40 seconds. I managed to get back into second by the end of the swim and I made a lot of effort on the bike and that really drained me. When I got onto the run it was just about trying to hang on to silver.

    “I still had a great race and I’m really pleased with my effort. I didn’t even make the finals in Beijing. I made the finals in London but didn’t make the medals, so this is the icing on the cake, finally getting my hands on a medal after all that time."

    Lauren Rowles won gold alongside Laurence Whiteley earlier.

    She said: "It's incredible. We've been working for a year and a half to get to this point, day in day out. It means so much to us.

    "With the coaches, we are the best prepared team.

    "You look round for a moment and think 'have I actually done this?' and then when you realise you have it's the best feeling. It's the relief to have it done. We had to go out and execute it well."

    'Perfect ride'published at 17:34 British Summer Time 11 September 2016

    Cycling

    Jody Cundy says it felt almost like a "victory lap" as he soared home to complete a world record gold-medal winning ride from the men's mixed team sprint C1-5 team in the velodrome.

    Cundy added: "We enjoyed every second of it. We have lots of friends and family up there - it doesn't get any better than this.

    "I have such a had job chasing this guy (Jon-Allan Butterworth). I have to get out of the saddle to keep up with him."

    Butterworth, who won three silvers in London, said: "I'd trade three silvers for one gold. I'm not being greedy – one gold is what I wanted. I get more satisfaction out of a team event because all three of us need a perfect ride. It was amazing."

    Louis Rolfe completed the team, he added: "The overriding emotion is just relief. I wanted to replicate what our Olympic counterparts did in the sprint and we did that."
