Paralympic 2016

We take a look at the main talking points.

SAME GOLD STOREY

Storey is now Britain's most decorated female Paralympian after once again demonstrating her prowess in the velodrome to secure victory in the C5 3000 metre individual pursuit final.

The 38-year-old caught compatriot Crystal Lane before the scheduled halfway point of the race. In addition to her 12 golds, four of which were secured at London 2012, Storey also boasts eight silver and three bronze medals.

The Dunedin 18-year-old sat in the minor placing through her first five rounds before recording a distance of 5.62 metres with her last jump in the T47 category.

It was her third personal best of the day and took her ahead of a Cuban athlete.

The last medal New Zealand won in Paralympic field events for women was a bronze in the Long Jump B3 from Leslie Mancktelow in 1988 and New Zealand's first Para-athletic medal since 2004 when Peter Martin won two golds and a bronze medal at the Athens Games in 2004.
