    Cashmore wins silver

    An emotional Claire Cashmore spoke to Kate Grey on BBC Radio 5 live after taking silver in the SB8 100m.

    "To be completely honest, I'm gutted. I thought I had a lot more than that and it wasn't there.

    "Gold was the only thing on my mind - I don't know if I'm still going to be going by Tokyo and I just wanted to get that gold in my fourth games and I really thought I could do it.

    "It's something that I've visualised every night for the last however many years but it just wasn't meant to be - everything happens for a reason, maybe there's some sick reason behind this.

    "I really don't know what went wrong, I went out really well again but obviously didn't have that strength to get back. But I've just got to get over it and a silver medal at the Paralympics is still bloody good."

    BBC Radio 5 live have tracked down gold medallist and world record breaker Hannah Russell:"I came into this final just purely focusing on myself after a four-year cycle and my training went really well.

    "To come here at the pinnacle of my career and to perform to my best is absolutely fantastic.

    "I could hear a big swarm of warm congratulations and cheering before I got into the pool, which spurred me on - I can't see the crowd so to hear it is really important to me."

    Chiassaro misses out on 800m final

    Tanni Grey-Thompson
    11-time Paralympic champion on BBC Radio 5 live

    "The qualification for this event is really harsh and I think they need to think about putting a semi-final in there as well.

    "When Richard looks back at that race he'll regret that coming off the bend he had a chance to go to the front and control it - he started picking up the pace but then slowed it and that's what put him in fifth.

    "He was desperately trying to see if he had a gap with 120m to go but he went out wide and at that point it's just too far to go, it doesn't matter how good your top speed is."

    Gigi Salmon
    BBC Radio 5 live commentator in Rio

    "There are tears in the eyes of Andy Lapthorne but a bronze in the doubles and a silver in the singles there is so much for him to be proud of from these Paralympics."

    Fellow Paralympic tennis medallist Lucy Shuker adds: "To make it into the final was an absolute epic for Lappo but he's devastated, if you get to the final you want that gold medal."

    It's not to be for Andy Lapthorne as Dylan Alcott wins their quad singles final 6-3 6-4 to take gold.

    The Australian, who is world number one, was just too good for the world number four ranked Briton.

    It means Lapthorne comes away from Rio with silver as well as the doubles bronze he won with Jamie Burdekin on Tuesday, after a match which lasted almost four-and-a-half hours.

    THEY HAVE DONE IT!

    The GB men deliver one of their greatest ever performances at a Paralympics to defeat world champions Australia 74-51!

    Yes the team won bronze at the 2004 and 2008 Games as well as silver way back at Atlanta 1996 - but the sport has progressed so much since then.

    Paralympic debutant Phil Pratt has been the star of the GB team here in Rio and yet again he dazzled with 20 points, whilst team-mate Ian Sagar was the top-scorer on 26.

    They'll next face Spain in the semi-finals tomorrow evening - just a few hours after the GB women bid for a place in their final by taking on USA.

    Jon Fox speaking to BBC Radio 5 live after his second silver medal of the games:

    "This is the first time in my three Paralympics that I've won two medals.

    "The concentration was more on the 100m backstroke for me so I came into this race with an open mind, training with Mikey back in Manchester and he was there the whole way so spurred me on in the final few metres.

    "To be fair to Mikey, he's worked his butt off so he fully deserves gold."

    Rio 2016 has been a dream come true for Britain's Alfie Hewett.

    He and Gordon Reid reached the men's wheelchair doubles final on Tuesday and then on Wednesday the Norwich City fan booked his place in the men's singles final, where he will take on Reid.

    Team Hewett - mum Sarah, dad Anthony, brother Barny and twin sister Ellie can barely believe what the 19-year-old has done.

    "He is living the dream - Tokyo 2020 was supposed to be his Games but he's gone and done it here," said Sarah. "He's doing it for his granddad David who has cancer and was too ill to travel here - he's Alfie's biggest fan."
