RIO 2016: Dunham adds third medal of Paralympic Games
The UAE is 32nd in the Paralympics medal table with two golds and three silvers after finishing tied-78th last month. They have never lost team gold since the sport of dressage was introduced at the Paralympics in Atlanta in 1996.
Both riders are part of the British mixed team, alongside Anne Dunham and Sophie Wells, who will have their gold confirmed on Friday. “I’m enjoying every minute”, the 25-year-old from Leeds said. “It’s just incredible. It’s been an fantastic competition”. My first day did not go as well as had planned it, but I am so proud of [her horse’s nickname] JP.
Johnson, who was a star runner at the University of Cincinnati before competing in the 1988 and 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials and then joining NBC in 1999, plans to try some off-beat reporting to try to understand the very different perspective of U.S. sprinter David Brown. He says he feels “having represented the refugees of the world and having the word “refugee” circulated throughout the world is the most important thing I could have done”.
Next Aaron Moores beat Scott Quin in a British one-two in the S14 100m breaststroke.

Austria’s Pepo Puch took silver with Fontainenoir, with Denmark’s Stinna Kaastrup claiming her secind bronze of the Games with Smarties.

Cole was one of Australia’s stars of the pool in London 2012, taking home four golds including her pet 100m backstroke crown.
“I don’t like the 800m, it’s been really hard four years, I’ve been pushed all the way”.
Baker, 26, and her mount Cabral defended the Class II crown which they won at London four years earlier.
“Edina screamed when she crossed the line like she’d won and I was thinking “I’m sure I was ahead” so it was only when the scoreboard said I’d won that I knew I’d got the gold”, said Chippington, who prevailed by 0.114 seconds.
He had to be content with third in Rio as David Blair of the United States won with a world record throw of 64.11 metres.
Walker was inspired to get into archery by watching American Matt Stutzman competing at London 2012.
“We are all here for our country and the entire delegation is happy when one of us wins, especially as it is this week aligned with the Eid holiday and a great chance to give something for our country and our people on this special occasion”. Stutzman was born without arms.
