- Swimmer breaks Paralympic record in 100m breaststroke final
- ParalympicsGB dominate 4x100m mixed freestyle to take gold
More British gold medals came with a tinge of poignancy in the pool on Saturday as one generation of Paralympic heroes gave way to another. Maisie Summers-Newton won her second gold of the Games in the SB6 100m breaststroke, setting a Paralympic record time of 1min 32.34sec. She also claimed her second emphatic victory in a week over Ellie Simmonds, a woman Summers-Newton describes as “an icon of paraswimming”, who finished some distance behind her in fourth.
