    Can Gilliver win gold?published at 21:52 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    So, what can I tell you about Sun Gang, the man who Piers Gilliver needs to beat to win gold in the Epee A final?

    He is the world champion, having beaten Gilliver in the final last year, is aged 23 and left-handed and is also accomplished in the Foil event, where he won silver at the Worlds.

    "Sun is a very good fencer," Gilliver's team-mate Gemma Collis tells me. "It's probablly going to be a tense match because it is always tight between the two of them.

    "They both have a long reach and are both quick so I think it will come down to who deals best with the fact that they are in a Paralympic final and brings their A-game."

    Ellie Simmonds shows great strength to chase down her younger rival Ellie Robinson to take the bronze medal. 

    Robinson slows up as she finishes behind the five -time Paralympic gold medallist in fourth. 

    A great effort from the 15 year-old, who is certainly one to watch out for in Tokyo in four years time. 

    Simmonds doesn't look happy but Yelyzvata Meresko of the Ukraine was too strong for the rest of the field, taking the gold medal in a new Paralympic record of 5:17.01 with China's Lingling Song settling for silver in 5:21.

  5. Gilliver hopes to create historypublished at 21:42 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Wheelchair fencing

    Piers Gilliver is bidding to be the first Briton to win wheelchair fencing gold since Caz Walton triumphed in the Epee event in Seoul in 1988.

    She is here at the Carioca Arena hoping to see history made, as are Gilliver's brother Miles, who is a dancer with the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and his grandfather John.

    Gilliver is going for gold in around 10 minutes...

    So how do GB's two Ellies compare? 

    The only real factor is age and experience. Ellie Simmonds came to the fore at the Beijing 2008 Paralympics, when she won two gold medals at the age of 13. 

    Simmonds now has a total of five Paralympic golds and 10 world titles to her name.

    On the other side of the pool, Ellie Robinson has a long way to go. 

    But the 15 -year-old Northampton school girl has made an epic start by winning gold on her Paralympics debut in Rio - in the S6 50m butterfly.

    Certainly one to watch over the next four years.

    Piers Gilliver had a battle in his semi-final against Iraq's Zainbulabdeen Al-Madhkoori coming from 7-4 down to win 15-10.

    Rio is his first Paralympics but he has European and World honours to his name at the tender age of 21.

    Teammate Gemma Collis, who was among those cheering him on after she finished eighth in the women's Epee A event, said she was proud of her teammate.

    "He dealt with the pressure in that semi-final. We were a bit worried early on but he kept calm and came through. I'm so proud," she said.

    "That's the sort of fencer he is, he has been in so many tight situations and he always keeps his head and I'm so excited for the final."

    Gilliver's final is coming up at 21:47 BST.

  9. How do you play wheelchair basketball?published at 21:24 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Wheelchair basketball is a fast-paced game for athletes of all physical impairments. 

    Each player is given a points rating from 1.0 to 4.5. The higher the number, the lower the impairment. 

    To ensure a team has no unfair physical advantage, the five players on court must not exceed a total of 14.0 points combined. 

    Players must bounce the ball after every two pushes but at this level, players often dribble the ball continuously to avoid being penalised for travelling.

    It might be another hot day in Rio, but the Carioca Arena 3 might be the coolest place in the Paralympic Park and the wheelchair fencers will be happy about that - as am I!

    Britain's Piers Gilliver has already secured himself a medal after winning his men's epee A semi-final and he goes in the decider against world champion Sun Gang of China at 21:47 BST.

    The pair are the top two in the world rankings and Sun beat Gilliver in last year's World Championship final.

  17. How to play wheelchair tennispublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 13 September 2016

    Here's some key facts about wheelchair tennis for you. 

    Unlike Olympic tennis, the ball can bounce twice before a hit and the second bounce can be outside of the court. 

    There are two classes. The quad class is for athletes who have severe lower limb impairments as well as an impairment in their playing arm. In fact, these players often strap their hand to their rackets for stability. 

    The open class is for all other physical impairments including athletes that do not use a wheelchair in daily life e.g. amputees.
