Paralympics 2024 live: Alice Tai gold caps off successful night for Great Britain in the pool

The Telegraph  

Great Britain won three golds, one silver and a bronze to overtake China at the top of the Para-swimming medal table on day three of the Paris Games. Stephen Clegg, William Ellard and Alice Tai won a hat-trick of golds in 40 minutes at La Defense Arena on a dominant night to kick start a medal rush for Great Britain in the pool. Clegg and Ellard both set world record times in the men’s S12 100m backstroke and S14 200m freestyle respectively to claim their maiden individual Paralympic titles. Tai, competing for the first time on the Paralympic stage since having her club foot amputated two and half years ago, obliterated the field in the women’s S8 100m backstroke to also be crowned a Paralympic champion for the first time.
