to make it a gb 1—2 in the women's road race. and it was a 1—2 in the men's race as well as ben watson took gold — his second of the games — with team mate fin graham coming through to win silver. it's what i jumped it's what ijumped about been sort of like my goal, goals to win two metals in the paralympic games. actually achieving that goal is something else. i don't think it's set in, i don't think it will set in at least for a good couple of days or weeks. at least for a good couple of days orweeks. still at least for a good couple of days or weeks. still here it is help try and spot the team—mates was up tender racing tomorrow as is my roommate, looking forward to doing that. once that's done we can all get together as a team and celebrate. away from the cycling, paralympics gb have also won medals in the track and field. sammi kinghorn took silver in the 400m, while dan greaves got a bronze in the discus. meanwhile dan pembroke has won gold in the javelin for those with a visual impairment — and he did it in style — setting a new paralympic record

ofjust over 69 and a half metres. there were more medals in the pool but no golden ending to the games for britain's ellie simmonds. for the first time in her illustrious paralympic career she'll go home without a medal. rachel latham reports from the swimming in tokyo. it was gold to bethany birth in the 100 metres backstroke. she won in london and again in rio and again here tonight in tokyo. her team—mate jessica jane applegate won the bronze medal. also winning bronze survivor great britain was reese don, he one of 100 metre backstroke. but all eyes were on eddie good night hallie simmons after her for hundred metre freestyle. she has been the face of para— swimming since her debut in 2008 when she was just 13 years old. she may not have won a medal here in tokyo but five—time champion of swimming has done so much more than just compete in sport. she has empowered people

with disabilities, she is changed perception of people with disabilities and she is hugely increase the profile of paralympic sport. her career is definitely something she will be celebrating. quite right. but sometimes, the headlines aren't always about the medals — have a look at this... this is cape verde's para—athlete keula nidreia pereira semedo — who, afterfinishing last in her 200m heat — was given the very best consolation prize — when her guide for the race, surprised her with a wedding proposal. thankfully she says yes — so she gets to take something shiny home after all. here's a quick round—up of some of the day's other sports stories and... we're getting to the business end of the vuelta a espana — colombia's miguel angel lopez won the hardest, steepest stage of the race. while primoz roglic keeps a healthy overall lead as he goes for a hat—trick of red jerseys. switzerland's marlen reusser won the opening stage of the women's vuelta. britain's anna henderson in yellow

on the left was sixth. the race has expanded to four days this year. tomorrow's stage is a mountain time trial. great britain's show—jumpers are in 8th place going into the final round of the team competition at the european championships. new olympic champion ben maher isn't taking part. instead william whittaker, georgia tame, joe stockdale and emily moffitt make up the foursome who are a long way off the medals. the bad weather in america has been affecting play again at the us open with the rain so heavy, water was coming through the roof in the louis armstrong stadium — david lawjoins me now. joins me now. luckily play did get going and britain's emma raducanu is in action. quite an incredible performance was up quite an incredible performance was up i think she doing that we thought she put up a good show. today he achieves play from great matches to qualify, she won herfirst run in

straight sets us up to come out against a player who's been in the top 50 for years whose beat her handily a few weeks ago and she's been her comfortably today. she won through 6—2, 6—4 to get into the us open. this is beyond all of our expectations, i would say. it’s expectations, iwould say. it's interesting — expectations, iwould say. it's interesting when i spoke to you yesterday is that how could she be be? and use a very good. obviously she's not the first british teenage superstar tennis player without the likes of. we had had of the watsons was debating white mixed two go the distance was up how can the lta to make sure that doesn't happen? i don't think it's awesome noble, i don't think it's awesome noble, i don't think it's awesome noble, i don't think a government party can be responsible for making it or not making it. they can support them and make a difference but in the case of laura she had similar terror went back a few years ago she made the fourth two she had a wrist injury that kept her out of the game for two or three years. you can never tell. you can never be sure that a player is going to go and build on

what they've done. but the early stages of what was saying, i would say that raikkonen is way ahead of where you'd thought should be right now. and she still going. she could maybe go further in the straw still. time will tell. dan evans, the only british male player left in the singles draw. he's not playing till tomorrow, is he? i notice he is down and doubles draw today. is he can play that game because he hasn't done a lots since having covid in july. is it a good idea for him be playing doubles is not always a good question with the weather they've had. ., , question with the weather they've had. . , ., , question with the weather they've had. ., .,, ., ., , had. last night was horrendous, the weather in new _ had. last night was horrendous, the weather in new york. _ had. last night was horrendous, the weather in new york. i've _ had. last night was horrendous, the weather in new york. i've never- had. last night was horrendous, thel weather in new york. i've never seen quite like that. it was dangerous was up i think a lot of people wondering if they'll play it all today. evans has said covid—i9 and it's really hit him hard. i think he lost some confidence. he enters the doubles as well as the singles i think is much as anything to keep busy, to keep playing to try and get some rhythm and momentum. fact is is into the third round of the singles. that's a big for him. he's got a

decent chance tomorrow against the australian. he's probably a 50—50 match for that i know it'll stop and play in doing that won't stop and playing doubles. he'll use it as preparation if everything else that's amazing some of the under any pressure to for fill those doubles matches that they've agreed to? to some degree, yes. is in the tournament, he wants to play, he does want to let us part it out. at the same time the singles ultimately will take precedence. if it comes down to it he somebody who likes playing every day, i think. i don't think he likes kicking his heels too much. tomorrow is when the real focus will come. if much. tomorrow is when the real focus will come.— focus will come. if he does play doubles let's _ focus will come. if he does play doubles let's hope _ focus will come. if he does play doubles let's hope it's - focus will come. if he does play doubles let's hope it's a - doubles let's hope it's a quick game. thank you. ahead of this weekend's dutch grand prix kimi raikkonen has been talking about his decision to retire at the end of the formula one season. the firm is the most experienced driver on the grid and this weekend �*at zandvoort will be his 342nd race.

he said he has no plans for his future and no regrets about his formula one career. i had ihad fun i had fun and i had it my way and nothing i wouldn't change a single thing, even if i could put up because otherwise then maybe i would because otherwise then maybe i would be sitting here today if i change one thing. no complaints, i cannot really complain. no complaints, i cannot really complain. and we have a nice golfing "and finally" for you... this is eduardo molinari — former european ryder cup player and brother to the 2018 open champion francesco. he's playing the par 3 seventh at his home tournament — the italian open — and makes a fine hole in one! winning the car behind the tee. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. for me and everyone for now it's good night.
