Look Ahead to Day 7

Published 14 September 2016

Para-canoeing today makes its Paralympic debut with the inspirational Jeanette Chippington seeking to make history, and world champions Emma Wiggs and Anne Dickins out to add Paralympic titles the their name in Rio.

Chippington made her Paralympic debut as a swimmer at the 1988 Games in Seoul, winning twelve medals in the pool in five consecutive Games. She’s not appeared at a Paralympics Games in twelve years, but since switching to para-canoeing has won four world titles.

Four-time Paralympian Claire Cashmore is looking to add gold to her six Paralympic medals in the 100m breaststroke SB8, with Ellie Simmonds and Charlotte Henshaw also competing, while Sophie Wells and flag bearer Lee Pearson will be looking for dressage medals at the Olympic Equestrian Centre.

Great Britain start their wheelchair rugby campaign against Australia, but all eyes will be on the showdown between the rival nations in the quarter-final of the men’s wheelchair basketball.

In athletics, Maria Lyle will take on Australian rival Isis Holt in a fascinating head-to-head in the women’s 100m T35 final, while David Weir is back on the track in the heats of the 800m T54. And Hannah Cockroft will be hoping to lead a clean sweep on the podium as she lines up alongside Kare Adenegan and Melissa Nicholls in the 400m T34 final.

Elsewhere, archers and shooters will be looking to be on target in the elimination and qualification rounds respectively while better conditions will be hoped for at the sailing regatta, where Helena Lucas, the defending champion in the one-person keelboat, leads her class.

Epee silver medallist Piers Gilliver is back in the action in the individual foil category B alongside team-mate Dimitri Coutya. And Dame Sarah Storey seeks to defend her road cycling C5 time trial title and claim her 13th career Paralympic gold. Megan Giglia, who won the C1-2-3 3000m pursuit, also races in her time trial.

The day also promises to be a massive day for British athletes at the Olympic Tennis Centre. Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett - who have made the doubles final together - will be in the semi-finals singles action at the wheelchair tennis, against Stephane Houdet and Joachim Gerard respectively. And Andy Lapthorne, fresh from winning doubles bronze, takes on top seed, Australia’s Dylan Alcott, in the final of the quad men’s singles.

Medal highlights for the day ahead are below (times denoted are BST) and for results and medal table, visit our interactive micro-site #EVERYROADtoRIO Live. Catch up with events from yesterday, here.
