Athletics golds keep China on track to finish top again

China began to exert their traditional dominance at the Paralympics in Paris on Aug 30, despite a double gold-medal success for British swimmers.

The Chinese, who have topped the medal standings at every Paralympics since Athens in 2004, finished the second day of competition with 12 golds, a performance that included three golds on the first day of the athletics programme.

Britain have much to celebrate after Tully Kearney, who has cerebral palsy, and Maisie Summers-Newton both retained their titles from the Tokyo Paralympics.

Kearney won the women's 100m freestyle in the S5 category.

Summers-Newton, who was born with achondroplasia, a condition that affects bone development, finished first in the women's 200m individual medley SM6.
