Brummie Ellie Simmonds up in a sec.

She is wonderful, love her to bits.  Every time I see her compete I seem to get grit in my eyes.

Watching the fencing, in wheelchairs. These athletes just cream anybody else.

Wheelchair racing, Ben Hur!
Come on, Ben Weir!

Oh no

He's come in last.
New father, he's a bit distracted.

15 year old Kare Adenegan is racing in the T34 wheelchair 400m. She's up against Hannah Cockcroft so it'll be a great battle.

Bronze for Kare with a PB and gold for Hannah with a WR. All in all pretty good stuff and both Coventry connected - Kare is a Cov kid and Hannah is a Cov University student.

Awful news about the death of the Iranian cyclist (RIP) but compelling and emotional viewing for the last fortnight or so. Inspirational stuff that's hard to put into words.
