    That was an awesome last 50m.

    She really put the power down and held it really, really well.

    What a woman! 

    GB's Ellie Simmonds defends her title from London and gets a world record in the process - finishing in 2:59.81. She becomes the first women in the event to go below the three minute mark.

    Simmonds looked to be struggling at the halfway point, but she cruised home in the end to claim her fifth Paralympic gold medal by the age of 21. Incredible.   

    Lingling Song of China finishes in second and 15-year-old Tiffany Thomas Kane of Australia takes bronze.

    So close! But GB's Jonathan Broom-Edwards is pipped into the silver medal position by rival Maciej Lepiato of Poland.

    Broom-Edwards posted a season's best by clearing 2.10m, but Lepiato pulled a world record 2.19m out the bag to take the gold. Rafael Uribe of Venezuela takes bronze.  

    The Briton adds to the European bronze he won earlier this year, as well as silver at the worlds. 

    Not bad for a Paralympic debutant, eh?

    Sascha you are number one.

    What an amazing swim.

    Imagine going out as a Paralympic champion in any event, never mind one that you were also champion in 16 years ago.

    If you're going to end your career, you might as well end it at the top. Sascha Kindred wins gold in his final Paralympic Games. 

    Kindred, who claims his seventh Paralympic gold medal, was behind on the freestyle leg but he comes back strong in the breaststroke leg to take it in a new world record time of 2:38.47. 

    China's Jia Hongguang take silver and Brazil's Tallison Glock battles his way to bronze but there won't be a dry eye in the house when we say farewell to one of the greats on top of the podium once again. 

    Someone get the tissues ready.

    I think once Sascha gets in for his session then he'll have calmed down a lot.

    He'll be in a lot of pain in the last 50m but he'll also be enjoying it because he knows this is it.

    Once again, GB's Jonathan Broom-Edwards is locked in a battle with rival Maciej Lepiato of Poland in the T44 high jump.

    They're the only remaining contenders in their event so are fighting it out for gold and silver.

    ParalympicsGB veteran Sascha Kindred lines up for his last ever Paralympic final and he'll be keen to finish a 22-year long career on a high. 

    Kindred made his Paralympic debut at Atlanta in 1996 and is the proud owner of 12 Paralympic medals, winning gold in Sydney, Athens and Beijing. 

    The 38-year-old has competed in every major final of his favoured events but now believes it's time to hang up his swimming cap. 

    There won't be a dry eye among the British swim team in Rio if he finishes many great years of competition on top of the podium.

    It seems ridiculous that we're calling Ellie Simmonds a veteran at 21 but we're really looking forward to her race later on.

    David Weir, speaking to Channel 4 after qualifying for the 1500m final: "You've got to try and keep up with the rest of the world and it's a really tough challenge. I'm pushing the best I can but it's really tough"

    Weir was also asked about how he is coping with being in Rio after the birth of his son Lenny. 

    "I'm always seeing pictures and in contact. It would be better if I was there but I've got a job to do. But I'm looking forward to coming home and seeing the little man soon."

    What do they all have in common? 

    They all are ParalympicsGB medallists in Rio but they have all said they started swimming because they saw Ellie Simmonds win gold at the Beijing and London Games. 

    Simmonds came to the fore in 2008 after she won two gold medals at the age of 13 and has since inspired swimmers of all ages and impairments to take up the sport. 

    She's only 21 and you could already say she's a stalwart for British Swimming. 

    She lines up to defend the 200m individual medley title she claimed in London four years ago at 23:39 BST.

    GB's David Weir hangs about in third-fourth place before pushing hard on the final straight to finish second in the 1500m heats in a time of 3:06:28.

    He is one of the top three qualifiers for the final along with race winner Rawat Tana of Thailand and Suk Man Hong of South Korea in third. 

    Weir is looking to win the event for a third time.

    I don't think David Weir was being greedy by competing in the 400m, I think he just wanted to challenge himself.

    He needed something to bring him here.

    Nobody can imagine the emotions David must have gone through in the last few days.

    This is his favourite event.

    This woman is in a class of her own. 

    New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe was under no pressure at all as she claims her third gold medal of the Rio 2016 Games. 

    The 23-year-old sets a new Paralympic record time of 1:02.65 with China's Chen Yi four seconds behind to take silver. 

    Poland's Oliwia Jablonska follows two seconds later to get the bronze step on the podium with GB's Alice Tai way back in seventh as she records a time of 1:11.92.

    Aoki targets Rio goldpublished at 22:56 British Summer Time 12 September 2016

    American wheelchair rugby player Chuck Aoki is probably not used to a venue as hot and sweaty as this Aquatics Centre.

    The 25-year-old two-time Paralympian has used a wheelchair for most of his life due to a genetic condition called hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies type II, which results in him not having feeling in his body below the knees and elbows.

    The wheelchair rugby competition starts on Wednesday and Aoki, who was being interviewed by Sarah Mulkerrins live on BBC World Service, will be hoping he and his team-mates can improve on their bronze of four years ago.
