Enfield rower Tom Aggar wins bronze at Paralympic Games

Jon-Allan Butterworth, 30, won gold in the C1-5 mixed team sprint with team mates Jody Cundy and Louis Rolfe in what looks set to become Britain’s best Paralympic day in Rio yet.

With that success, Kadeena is the first Brit for 28 years to win medals in two different sports at the same Games. “I never doubted that she would”.

“I jumped on my bike as soon as I got off the athletics track, just to get back into bike mode”.

This was just one day after she had come third in the T38 100m, and was an incredible achievement from the youngster.

Storey, who on Thursday won her 12th Paralympic title, missed out on a medal as China’s Zhou Jufang and Ruan Jianping went quicker before Cox’s storming success.

British Cycling’s para-cycling head coach Jon Norfolk paid tribute to Cox, who juggled cycling sessions in Manchester with athletics sessions in Leeds.

Rachel Morris, who won road cycling time trial gold in Beijing in 2008, won her second event of the summer with victory in the arm-shoulders single scull.

He took home three silver medals at the games in London in 2012 but had always had his eye on gold.

Lauren Rowles and Laurence Whiteley followed suit by leading from start to finish to win the trunk-and-arms mixed double sculls, while the mixed cox four defended their London 2012 crown as Tom Aggar took bronze in the men’s arm-shoulders single sculls.

Lauren Rowles and Laurence Whiteley meanwhile saw off China in the double sculls event while James Fox, Pam Relph, Dan Brown and Grace Clough defended Great Britain’s gold won at London 2012 in the mixed coxed four, edging ahead of the United States of America and Canada.

Sabrina Fortune earlier claimed bronze in the F20 shot put as the track and field squad claimed five medals on the day.

“It’s exactly what I expected to be honest”.

“Now I feel the pressure is off”.

“I thought that I was dreaming”.

“I can’t believe that has happened”.

“Doing the two sports, taking up cycling and being on top of the world, it’s incredible”.

Swimmer Alice Tai claimed Britain’s eighth medal of the day, with bronze in the S10 100m backstroke.
