  4. A winning smile

    Brazil's Daniel Dias wins men's 200m freestyle S5 final

    Nick Hope

    Daniel Dias

    What an UNBELIEVABLE noise from the partisan crowd inside the Aquatics Centre as Daniel Dias lives up to his pre-Games hype with GOLD in The S5 200m freestyle.

    He finished over 15m clear of his rivals - which included GB's Andrew Mullen who was third.

    We've seen some good crowd numbers and support from the Brazilians today but the needs moments like this to really inspire the population.

    Brazil and Rio in particular has a poor reputation when it comes to supporting disabled people and the Paralympics - led by success from athletes like Dias - really could be a huge catalyst for change.

  5. 'To reach my third Games is an achievement'

    GB's Jon Fox wins S7 100m backstroke silver

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Some quotes from a hugely disappointed Jon Fox, who has to settle for silver in the Men's S7 100m backstroke with Ukraine's Levgenii Bogodaiko taking the gold.  

    Fox tells BBC Radio 5 live: "The last 25 metres slipped me and that's where he got me. It's a race. People win and people lose. To come back from injury and get to my third Paralympics is an achievement."

  6. Silver Medal - Jon Fox

    men's S7 100m backstroke

    Britain's Jon Fox was first at the 50m turn but he wasn't first at the finish. 

    He's beaten by Ukraine's Ievgenii Bogodaiko by the length of a fingertip in 1.10.55 with Fox touching second in 1:10.78.

  7. 'Do it here and now'

    Women's 100m T38 heats

    Kadeena Cox is aiming to become the first British athlete since Isabel Barr in 1988 to win medals in two different sports as she competes in athletics and cycling in Rio. 

    When asked if she was stubborn by Channel 4 after advancing from her T38 100m heat into the final, this was her reply. 

    "I am stubborn but that's not the only reason. I've got MS so in four years I might not be able to do two sports so why not do it here and now."

  9. Quick as a Fox

    Jonathan Fox in S7 100m backstroke final at 00:32 BST

    Had enough of GB's gold rush yet? No? Me neither. 

    We could have one more for you as Jon Fox looks to defend the S7 100m backstroke title that he won in London four years ago. 

    Fox was struggling with a shoulder injury on the road to Rio but he was back to his best earlier this year when he set a new world record in the event we'll see shortly. 

    Can he lower the mark even further?

    "Going into the final with a faster time will help. I'm starting to learn how to deal with the pressure of everything."

  11. 'There were some dark days'

    Great Britain's Georgina Hermitage equals 100m T37 world record

    Some quotes from Great Britain's Georgina Hermitage, who has just equalled her own world record in the heats of the women's 100m T37 event.

    She tells Channel 4 that her participation in Rio was in doubt, but is delighted with her performance.

    "It definitely went through my mind and there were some dark days," says Hermitage.

    "After the Europeans I had to take a month off so to come out and do that today is such a relief. 

    "It has been a difficult few months so to equal that time was good."

  12. Hahn, Cox & Breen progress to final

    Women's T38 100m heats

    Three Brits progressed to the women's T38 100m final as Sophie Hahn set a new Paralympic record of 12.62 seconds.

    Great Britain's Andrew Mullen wins bronze in men's 200m S5

    Some more quotes from GB's Andrew Mullen, who won bronze behind home favourite Daniel Dias in the men's 200m freestyle: "The atmosphere was amazing, it was like swimming in a football stadium. London 2012 was amazing but it really felt like the crowd was on top of us tonight.

    "I'm so pleased to win a medal in such an environment. It was a good time for me and the 200m isn't a focus its really over the shorter distances, so that's a great sign.

    "I'm not scared to race anyone."

  14. 'I've got full respect for Dias' - GB's Mullen

    Men's 200m freestyle

    After all the tough talk in the build-up, Andrew Mullen was full of admiration for Brazil's home favourite and the S5 200m freestyle champion Daniel Dias. 

    He told Channel 4: "Daniel Dias is a great champion. I look up to him because he's done a lot for the sport.

    "We had our time in London and I guess this is his time in Rio. I've got full respect for him."

  15. Multi-talented
