    No-one is catching the USA's McKenzie Coan in this one. She blitzes away the opposition to finish in 5:05.77 - a whole 13 seconds ahead of compatriot Cortney Jordan.

    GB's Susie Rodgers claims her third medal of the week by taking bronze. You may remember Susie from her incredible reaction to winning gold in the S7 50m butterfly (see face below).

    What a battle in the men's T34 800m!

    Mohammed Alhammadi and world record holder Walid Ktila are level-pegging on the final straight but the gold goes to Alhammadi of the UAE in a Paralympic record of 1.40:24.

  5. silver medal

    Silver medal - Jon Foxpublished at 21:53 British Summer Time 14 September 2016

    Men's S7 400m freestyle

    Fantastic swim from Jon Fox but he can't bag a gold in Rio tonight. 

    The Plymouth swimmer, who previously won silver in the 100m backstroke in Rio, ran out of steam as he tried to hold off his team mate Jones. 

    Jones overtakes at the 300m turn and Fox doesn't have enough strength to catch him as he settles for a second silver as he stops the clock at 4:49 dead. 

    He'll have one more chance in the 100m freestyle.

    Jones was behind compatriot Jon Fox after 100m but he hunted him down to overtake at the 300m mark to take the top spot on the podium in 4:45.78 seconds. 

    And here comes Fox who settles for silver, four seconds behind the new Paralympic champion.

    GB v Australia in men's quarter finals

    A British team versus an Australian team in any sport is always intense. 

    The great rivalries between these two nations are usually settled over a bat and ball or a game of ruggers. But at the Paralympics, bragging rights are settled on the basketball court. 

    GB have come to Rio full of confidence after winning three consecutive European titles but they have not beaten their Aussie rivals at the last four Paralympics. 

    But who will come out on top tonight? Battle commences at 21:30 BST.

  19. From Mexico's streets to Paralympics podiumpublished at 21:15 British Summer Time 14 September 2016

    Mexico's Arnulfo Castorena did not have enough money to buy a wheelchair before he became a Paralympic champion. 

    Castorena, 38, was left homeless at the age of 12 when his mother died and his father abandoned him, leaving him homeless and forced to beg for money on the streets of Guadalajara. 

    But he turned his attention to the pool with the help of his aunt and he has won two gold medals since the Sydney 2000 Paralympics.

    He goes for his third tonight in the SM2 50m breaststroke. Very moving stuff.
