    Ollie Hynd wins silver in men's S8 100m backstroke

    Ollie Hynd told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get gold but it took a world record to beat me. That's as fast as I could have gone. I left everything in the pool.

    Over the last four years we've worked on the backstroke a bit more than people realise and I put pressure on myself. A PB and silver will do."

    Gold medal - Steph Millwardpublished at 23:33 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Women's S8 100m backstroke

    Steph Millward finally upgrades from silver to gold in a new Paralympic record time. 

    Her compatriot Steph Slater was strong at the turn but falls back to fifth in 1:19.42, six seconds behind Millward's new best of 1:13.02. 

    Maddison Elliot of Australia and American Jess Long take silver and bronze.

    There was no way they were going to catch Millward, a London 2012 silver medallist, who was at least 10 strokes in front to earn her first Paralympic gold at the age of 34.

  5. Steph vs Stephpublished at 23:30 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Women's S8 100m backstroke (23:28 BST)

    We've had two Ellies competing earlier tonight and now it's time for two Stephs to duel in the pool. 

    And both Steph Millward and Steph Slater have similar swimming backgrounds. 

    Millward, born in Saudi Arabia, was the British record holder in the 100m backstroke at 15 and was hoping to qualify for the Sydney 2000 Olympics before she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 17.

    Slater was also tipped to be in the Rio Olympics before she had a stroke at Team GB's training centre in Swansea, leaving her with long lasting nerve damage. 

    They now line up against each other at the Paralympics in Rio, hoping to fulfill the ambitions they had as able-bodied swimmers.

    Silver medal - Ollie Hyndpublished at 23:26 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Men's S8 100m backstroke

    I wonder what his brother Sam has to say about that? Ollie finishes strong to take silver behind China's Zhou Cong. 

    His Chinese opponent is two seconds clear in a new world record time of 1:02.90 as Hynd follows in 1:04.46. 

    Ollie will still have the bragging rights in the Hynd household though as that's two golds and two silvers to brother Sam's one gold and two bronze

    Natasha Baker has helped ParalympicsGB go top of dressage Team Championship standings.

    The double gold medallist from London 2012, riding Cabral, posted a score of 71.882 in her Grade II Test. 

    It was Tuesday's best score and put GB into the overall lead with a total of 225.884 at the half-way point of the competition.

    Baker said of her mount: “I’m so, so proud of him.

    “He was really nervous and I had to keep his confidence throughout the whole thing. I’m really pleased he settled so quickly which gives me confidence for the next couple of days."

    Germany sit in second place in the standings, on 218.602, with the medals being decided on Thursday.

    A quick dash from the wheelchair fencing to the swimming where Steph Millward bids for her first Paralympic title shortly.

    The 34-year-old, who has multiple sclerosis, was reclassified earlier this year from the S9 category down to S8 where she now competes against more disabled swimmers.

    The 100m backstroke is her strongest event. She is already the world record holder and since this morning the Paralympic record holder so can she win gold in her third Games.

  10. A tale of two brotherspublished at 23:13 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Men's S8 100m backstroke

    S8 400m freestyle champion Ollie Hynd goes for his second gold medal shortly in the 100m backstroke, but his brother Sam will be keen to remind you he did it first. 

    Ollie did not take up swimming until he went to Beijing to see his older brother Sam win gold and was eager to better the efforts of his sibling rival.

    He's not doing a bad job in Rio after winning gold and breaking his brother's own world record in the process. 

    And Sam bet his brother he couldn't do it so he'll have to cough up some cash. 

    How will Sam, who retired in 2014, settle the score? Maybe a brotherly thumb war when Ollie gets back?

    Brilliant from the GB boys!

    Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett beat Shingo Kunieda and Satoshi Saida in straight sets to reach the final of the men's wheelchair tennis doubles.

    It means the Wimbledon champions are guaranteed at least a silver in the final on Thursday.

    Fellow Brits Lucy Shuker and Jordanne Whiley are up next in the bronze medal match in the women's event.

    Wheelchair fencer beats his future father-in-law

    Remember the good old-fashioned days of when a man would go to his girlfriend's father to ask permission to marry her?  

    How about beating him in a wheelchair fencing match first? 

    Polish fencer Adrian Castro did just that when he beat his soon-to-be father-in-law, Gregorz Putla, for a bronze medal at the Paralympics. 

    And Putla says he will not be the one paying for the wedding when Castro marries his daughter. 

    "I lost the bronze medal, he will earn money from winning it so he has to pay now. Of course he has to. He has just won enough money to pay for the wedding."

    More from GB wheelchair fencer Gemma Collis on her team-mate and now Paralympic silver medallist Piers Gilliver.

    "It was a great bout. Both Piers and Sun are such good fighters and it would have been fantastic to watch if you were a neutral," she said.

    "Hopefully what Piers has done here will help the sport grow and grow and he can inspire others to get involved in it."

    David Weir is never the most enthusiastic of talkers even when he's won but he is looks pretty down in the dumps as he wheels in for post race interviews.

    "I just wasn't good enough today," he admits to BBC Radio 5 Live's Jeanette Kwakye after finishing fourth in the T54 1500m.

    "I don't want to be making excuses because we all have the same problems but I am really struggling to get the tyre pressure right out here - I don't know if it's the heat or the humidity.

    "It's disappointing [to miss out on a medal] but I feel I'm getting better with every race and I still have two individual and a relay to go."

They're delighted at having made the podium together in the mixed team compound yesterday. It could get even better for both.

    "I had it in me, I had a great warm-up, I just wasn’t good enough today. 

    "I've still got the 100m free and 100m breaststroke to go. Just see what happens. 

    "This wasn't what I wanted, I'm four years older than what I was in London."
