Challis will return to the pool just one day after clinching backstroke gold on Monday – a day that also saw gold for boccia star Stephen Maguire, triathlon duo Dave Ellis and Megan Richter, and archery aces Nathan Macqueen and Jodie Grinham. Ellie aims higher Ellie Challis is hoping to improve on her “most incredible day ever” by winning a gold medal in the S3 100m freestyle in the Paris pool. Baker is part of a hugely successful Great Britain squad, also including Sophie Wells, Mari Durward-Akhurst and Georgia Wilson, which will also bid for an eighth successive team gold later in the Games. The 31-year-old Peacock insisted to the BBC afterwards: “It’s frustrating but 2017 Jonnie would have wiped the floor with all of them.” Scot Stephen McGuire won boccia gold with victory over Colombia’s Edilson Chica, while there was double para-triathlon glory with gold medals for Dave Ellis and Megan Richter respectively.
