It was a successful start for Aaron McKibbin and Ross Wilson who both won their opening group games in table tennis class 8.

Elsewhere though, Ashley Facey Thompson and Joshua Stacey (both class 9) and Sue Bailey (class 4) had opening defeats.

Sarah Storey claimed Great Britain's first gold of the Games in the women's C5 3000m individual pursuit.

The 43-year-old beat team-mate Crystal Lane-Wright in the final, after beating her own world best in qualifying.

Storey's world record-breaking performance on her way to claiming her 15th Paralympic title leaves her just one behind Mike Kenny's British record of 16 golds.

It's the top of the hour, so let's have a little recap of what's happened so far in Tokyo this morning...

Three-time Paralympian David Wetherill has been de-selected from the ParalympicsGB team for Tokyo 2020 for "breaching the British Para Table Tennis code of conduct".

Wetherill competed at the Beijing, London and Rio Games.

You couldn't have written the timetable better for ParalympicsGB.

To get a gold medal on day one sets the tone for everyone else. The whole team is willing Sarah Storey on to win three gold medals here.

Her life is sport and you want the medals to come along for that dedication.

More from Sarah Storey: "It's hard to put into words where we are as the Paralympics.

"For me as an individual, I've won a medal at every event. I broke the world record in Beijing, in London, in Rio and then this morning. It's been overwhelming to keep having to back that up and I never expected to go as fast as that today."

An emotional Sarah Storey speaking to Channel 4: "It's quite overwhelming. Being in an empty stadium we have to be prepared to race like that. Once you finish racing, it hits you that the stands are actually empty.

"Racing in a pandemic is hard. When you want to celebrate with people, you realise you can't. Of course you can celebrate with the team but there is a bigger team behind us and they're really missed."

We've had a blistering start already this morning and there are 12 glorious days stretched out in front of us.

But who are you most looking forward to seeing in action?

Let us know using one of the ways above.

We know the lift people get during the Olympics and how the nation feels so positive about sport. For the Paralympics, we've got people who watch every four years and those who live and breathe Paralympic sport.

It's just amazing that we've got a gold medal so early on day one.

Great Britain lead Canada 29-26 at half-time.

Top scorers Maddie Thompson and Laurie Williams help GB retain their three point lead from the first quarter.

Worrying news from the wheelchair tennis camp.

A ParalympicsGB staff member with the wheelchair tennis squad tested positive for Covid-19 before arrival at the Athlete Village on Monday.

They are currently in isolation while the process to identify close contacts is under way.

• In the wheelchair fencing, Piers Gilliver has been eliminated in the round of 16 in the men's sabre round of 16 (class A).
• Team-mate Gemma Collis-McCann did not make it out of the preliminary round of the women's sabre (class A).
• In table tennis, Aaron McKibbin and Ross Wilson (both class 8) won their opening group games, but Ashley Facey Thompson (class 9), Joshua Stacey (class 9) and Sue Bailey (class 4) had opening defeats.
• In the pool, GB have seven swimmers already into finals, with Reece Dunn (men's S14 100m butterfly) and Tully Kearney (women's S5 200m freestyle) fastest in their qualifying.

The wheelchair basketball tournament is under way in Tokyo.

Great Britain's women are leading Canada 14-11 in their first of four group-stage games.

It was a a great start with both teams pressing but GB are leading by three after a strong opening quarter.

ParalympicsGB chef de mission Penny Briscoe speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "The thing we’ve reflected on is that the measures we’ve put in place for the past 18 months are the same as we have adopted here.

"We've almost translated them from the daily training of the athletes. It comes down to the basics of hands, face, space, daily testing, daily health monitoring. We're trying to keep ourselves to ourselves as a nation and limit interaction with others.

"We've come here to compete and do well and to do that we need to be fit and healthy."

I've got a tear in my eye because I've known Sarah Storey for such a long time on an individual level.

It's such a shame that there are so few fans, especially as cycling is a sport where there is always a real block of family and friends but they can't be there.

I know her group will just be so ecstatic for her.

As I mentioned earlier, this is Sarah Storey's eighth Paralympics, but it's her first without her parents in the stands watching.

With no fans allowed at the Games, they will be watching on TV back home, as will Storey's two children, Louisa and Charlie.

No doubt the celebrations are under way at Chez Storey!

It's really tough when you have two British cyclists in the final. It's really important we recognise that it's a remarkable achievement by Crystal Lane-Wright to finish in the silver medal.

It's just unfortunate for her that she had to go up against the unstoppable Sarah Storey in the final.

The medal ceremony for the women's C5 3000m individual pursuit is currently taking place.

As was the case at the Olympics, athletes are placing the medals around their necks themselves because of Covid-19 protocols.

For the first time at these Games, we hear the British national anthem after Sarah Storey receives her gold medal, Crystal Lane-Wright to her side (socially distanced, of course) with the silver medal.
