    SUCH DRAMA and she nearly threw it away, but GB's Vicky Jenkins is a Paralympic bronze medallist, beating Kim of South Korea 125-124.

    Jenkins controlled the match until the penultimate shot when she only managed to score a four - all of her other scores had been 8-10's.

    She had to shoot a 9 to win and nailed it!

    With the all-GB final of Jo Frith and Jess Stretton to follow it'll be a clear sweep 1-2-3 for Britain in this women's individual compound event - that's the first clean-sweep in any sport for ParalympicsGB at these Games!

    I think it is disappointing they are not letting the athletes do a lap of honour. There is enough gaps in the schedule to allow it.

    Maria Lyle grabs a flag and dances for joy, anyway...

    Another bronze for Britain's Maria Lyle to match her 100m run.

    We're about to see a Briton born in this century, 16-year-old Maria Lyle - born on Valentine's Day in 2000 - going for her third medal of the Games.

    The Scottish girl, who won double gold as a 14-year-old at the European Championships, has won bronze in the 100m and silver in the 4x100m in Rio. Will she go one better in the T35 200m final? We shall soon find out.

    Abby Kane's underwater work is truly sensational, she nails it. She’s very powerful, she won that heat by miles.

    She smashed her personal best by some two seconds, and all of a sudden we've got more gold medal potential in the pool! That came from nowhere!

    She has done something really special there.

    She's going to be really pleased with that push today. It was very smart in terms of executing her race exactly as she had to.

    She's going to go quicker in the final, there's so much more there for her to give - and that was a four second personal best!
