To end my athletics career with this medal is a dream come true.” Elsewhere, two British defending champions fell short in their gold medal bids, Richard Whitehead took T61 200m silver and one-time I’m a Celebrity contestant Hollie Arnold admitted frustration with women’s F46 javelin bronze, driving rain not making for a high-quality competition. “Even though I’m on the podium, it’s not where I want to be, I wanted the gold, I’ll be ready to fight next year,” she said. Hopefully I can top off a great Games tomorrow.” Elsewhere, British world champion Jonathan Broom-Edwards won T64 men’s high jump gold and Owen Miller, in his Paralympic debut, won the T20 men’s 1,500m.
