There were more success for our Scots on Paralympic GB on Tuesday – here’s a round up of all the action from Tokyo.
Swimming
Stephen Clegg racked up a personal best, a new British record and his second bronze medal of the Games with a time of 53.43 in the Men’s S12 100m Freestyle.
“That was pretty unexpected! I knew it was going to be a tough race as there were a lot of fast guys around me.
“This whole meet has been about the butterfly, everything else is a bonus, so two PBs in two events so far has set me up well for Friday night and I’m looking forward to racing these lads again.”
Toni Shaw was three hundredths of a second off a second medal of the Games, finishing fourth in the Women’s S9 Freestyle.
On Wednesday Andy Mullen is back in the pool, with the Men’s S5 50m Freestyle Heats taking place at 02:31 and the Final at 11:29.
Boccia
Scott McCowan agonisingly missed out on a final place after a tie-break defeat to Greek Grigorios Polychronidis. Scott had earlier delivered a perfect performance to defeat Brazilian Evelyn de Oliveira 9-1, and will now face Daniel Michel of Australia in the BC3 Bronze Medal Match on Wednesday (02:40).
Cycling
There were strong performances in the Road Cycling Time Trials. Jenny Holl, piloting Sophie Unwin, finished fifth in the Women’s B event, while Fin Graham was just three seconds short of a podium place in the Men’s C3, finishing fourth.
Wheelchair Basketball
Jude Hamer and Robyn Love featured for Paralympics GB in their quarter-final match against China, but could not prevent a 47-33 defeat to end their tournament in Tokyo.
Wheelchair Tennis
Gordon Reid and partner Alfie Hewett are guaranteed medals after easing through the Men’s Doubles Semi-finals with a 6-2 6-1 win over Takashi Sanada and Shingo Kunieda of Japan.
