Day 7 saw more success but with several Paralympians adding to their earlier successes.
In Archery, In the men's team recurve, ParalympicsGB beat Taipei 195-179 in the quarter-finals.
Over in the Athletics, David Weir strolls through the T54 800m heats but a mixed result in the Women's 200m T37 heats as world champion Katrina Hart bows out in fifth while Bethany Woodward and Jenny McLoughlin both reach the final with Bethany Woodward going on to claim silver and McLoughlin in fifth. Stef Reid and Sophie Kamlish qualify for the T44 200m finals as a fastest loser and third respectively and David Devine seals bronze in the T12 800m to add to the 1500m bronze he won earlier in the games.
Cycling took to the roads and Sarah Storey brought her Velodrome luck along as she bagged her third gold of the games with victory in the C5 individual time trial but in the male equivalent Jon-Allan Butterworth finishes 13th after an injury. Mark Colbourne seals silver in the C1 individual time trial and Karen Darke also claims silver in the handcycling H1-2 time trial and special notice to former F1 driver Alex Zanardi of Italy who claimed gold in Handcycling.
In Sailing, Paralympics GB ensured that they will receive at least a bronze and a silver as Helena Lucas is second in the 2.4mR class with one race to come and Alexandra Rickham and Niki Birrell are guaranteed bronze in the SKUD class.
Swimming success seems to be growing more each day and today saw Liz Johnson and Charlotte Henshaw qualify for the SB6 100m breaststroke final in first and second each breaking the Paralympic record but sadly they missed out on the gold but thankfully took a 2-3 with Henshaw taking silver and Johnson the bronze. Ollie Hynd stormed home to gold in the SM8 200m IM winning by two clear second with brother Sam back in fourth.
Rob Welbourn seals bronze in the S10 400m freestyle ans Louise Watkin took silver in the S9 50m.
Wheelchair Tennis pair Peter Norfolk and Andy Lapthorne take silver in the quad doubles and that medal means GB sit third in the medal table with Russia in second with three more golds but GB have 92 of the 103 medals predicted.
