    Gold medallist swimmer Aaron Moores speaking to BBC Radio 5 live:

    "It was incredible, a dream come true and I just need to thank my family back in Swansea, especially my nan and all my coaches.

    "I'm so proud to be here and to win the gold medal - I could feel Scott Quin was so close to me coming into the finish so I was just powering through every stroke.

    "It was agony but I was never going to give up, I was just thinking 'gold, gold, gold.'

    "I've got a silver and now I've got a gold, my life's complete."

  5. "I thought about a fish with boobs"published at 00:32 British Summer Time 15 September 2016

    BBC Radio 5 live caught up with tennis doubles bronze medallist Jordanne Whiley watching Andy Lapthorne's final earlier and she revealed an odd motivational tactic:

    "I wanted to podium in the singles - I've been in the best form of my life and haven't had any injuries this season.

    "Then in my first round match I got a wrist injury and couldn't play through it in the quarter-finals.

    "But I got myself back in the doubles to win the bronze after we lost the second set 6-0. I had a motivational talk with my partner Lucy Shuker at a change of ends and refocus I thought about what fish would look like if they had boobs."

    Great Britain fall away at the last 50 metres to miss out on the medals and finish fourth. 

    It's Maksym Krypak who finds that extra push to grab the gold for Ukraine. 

    And there's a really loud cheer as hosts Brazil take second with China back in bronze. 

    Even though these young lads didn't make it a golden 10 for ParalympicsGB, nine gold medals means it's the team's most successful day in Rio.

    Chairs crashing, athletes flipping over and professional welders court-side.

    Great Britain opened the tournament against defending Paralympic champions Australia and fell to a 53-51 defeat, with Riley Batt scoring 27 goals for the Aussies. 

    There were also wins for USA, Japan and Canada.

    "I feel I have redeemed myself from London," says an emotional Andy Lapthorne but the Briton added that he was bitterly disappointed not to win Paralympic gold.

    "As a tennis player, you are used to the physical side of the game but having played for four-and-a-half hours yesterday, I was mentally tired,.

    "It was very difficult to then come out and play the world number one and I couldn't execute as I would have liked.

    "I've trained so hard over the last four years and I'm gutted to have lost."

    GB 2-0 Argentina - 5th place playoff

    ParalympicsGB's 7-a-side football team secured a fifth place finish with a comfortable 2-0 win over Argentina. 

    Matt Crossen opened the scoring for the Brits with a superb solo effort, cutting in from the left before firing into the bottom corner, with Michael Barker doubling their advantage midway through the second half. 

    The game ended on a sour note when captain Jack Rutter was sent off in GB's last Paralympic football game for a while after 7-a-side football was cut from the Tokyo 2020 programme. 

    GB's goalscorer Crossen said: “The Paralympic Games have been a wonderful experience and a great send off for a few of the lads who will be retiring after the tournament."

    Lee Pearson reflecting on his silver medal in the individual dressage with BBC Radio 5 live:

    "I'm just so proud and my horse did the best he could've done.

    "You can never think you've won after a round in this sport as it so often comes down to hundredths of points and you're working with a live animal so you don't know what mood they're in or if they've got a headache or are a bit tired.

    "I was just pleased we had a safe test with no problems."

    That's a beast of a swim from Anna Stetsenko as she sets a new world best of 27.34 seconds. 

    It's a really close fight for second as the splashes look big enough to reach the stands but it's Uzbekistan who take the silver and the bronze. 

    America's Rebecca Meyers was hoping to make it four golds in a row in Rio but she falls back in sixth place.

    Following an incredible 74-51 win for the GB men's wheelchair basketball team over world champions Australia, star performer Phil Pratt tells me they can start dreaming about a medal in Rio.

    "This team is absolutely amazing and knocking out Australia is surreal," he says.

    "The loss against the USA (at the end of the group stage) was a wake-up call and we wanted to go out and prove what we could do today. We have so many leaders, no passengers and we can't wait to face Spain tomorrow. We are all thinking about a medal - it's what we train for everyday, but we have to win tomorrow first."

    Andy Lapthorne's team-mate Louise Hunt, the British women's number three, told me that he should take a lot of credit from his performance here.

    "I think Andy should be really proud of what he has done," she said. "He has performed really well and to get to a final is amazing. I hope he can look back and see the positives.

    "He gave it 100% so what more can you do?  We're all feeling for him but I hope he feels proud. Dylan played great and if your opponent plays that well what can you do?

    "But as a British team, this event has been brilliant and there is still more to come."
