Look Ahead to Day 9

Published 16 September 2016

After another golden day yesterday Great Britain’s medal tally in Rio is now at 107, including an almighty 49 gold, and are just 14 medals shy of their Rio 2016 medal target of 121, with three days of competition remaining.

Today, Hannah Cockroft is looking to compete a gold medal hat-trick as she goes over an unfamiliar distance in the women’s 800m T34 final while Dan Greaves, who has won medals at four consecutive Games, will be looking to regain his Paralympic title won 12 years ago in the F44 discus final.

It’s a busy day at the pool with Michael Jones, Susie Rodgers, Hannah Russell, Stephanie Millward – all already gold medallists - in action in the penultimate day of swimming.

Velodrome star Megan Giglia aims for another gold in the women’s C1-2-3 road race, having finished fourth at last year’s World Championship in the event. Also in action will be David Stone and Hannah Dines in the men’s and women’s T1-2.

Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett will contest an all British showdown for men’s singles gold at the wheelchair tennis, having combined to win men’s doubles silver on Thursday.

The women’s wheelchair basketball team look to rebound from their semi-final defeat to the United States when they play the Netherlands for bronze – which would be their first-ever medal at the Games.

And Will Bayley, Ross Wilson and Aaron McKibbin will also be seeking a class 6-8 team table tennis bronze against China after losing their semi-final with Ukraine.

David Smith is brimming with confidence as he seeks to upgrade his London 2012 silver in the men’s BC1 boccia final while John Walker, John Cavanagh and Jodie Grinham are competing in the men’s and women’s individual archery competitions at the Sambodromo.

Sailing continues in the Paralympic regatta with the final action before Saturday’s double points medal race while GB take on Brazil in their final wheelchair rugby group match, having suffered narrow defeats to defending champions Australia and top seeds Canada. 

More highlights for the day ahead are below (times denoted are BST) and for results and medal table, visit our interactive micro-site #EVERYROADtoRIO Live. Click here to look back at yesterday's result.
