Silver for Mexico, and Gloria Zarza Guadarrama. Bronze for Uzbekistan’s Nurkhon Kurbanova.

Javelin: It’s a subcontinental sweep, as Devendra throws 61.23 and may’t cross Mudiyanselage. And in a stunning second, the Indian athlete runs straight over to the Sri Lankan and throws his arms round him. Real congratulations.

Mudiyanselage doesn’t take his remaining throw. No want. He has a world report and a gold medal. He’s given a Sri Lankan flag, and as a substitute of working round with it straight away, he spreads it out on the observe and kneels in entrance of it, bowing his head to the bottom.

Sri Lanka’s first medal of those Video games is gold.

Javelin: Final likelihood for Guillermo Varona Gonzalez of Cuba. An athlete throwing along with his left arm, lacking his proper hand. He shouts a battle cry on the high of his run to encourage himself. Screams his javelin into the sky. It’s good! Effectively previous 60 metres… however how far? 61.86. It gained’t be sufficient. He stays in fourth.

Sundar Singh Gurjar bails out on his throw, and has time to return and check out once more. Nonetheless can’t get his runup the second time. He’s received the Steve Harmisons. This time he overshoots the entrance line and the flag goes up. That’s his day performed, with a bronze medal spherical his neck. However he’ll be left questioning what might need occurred had he received that final throw away.

Javelin: Not nice rhythm for Devendra’s fifth throw, and he intentionally oversteps after watching the javelin within the air for some time, as if to remain {that a} 55-ish metre rating isn’t even value recording on his sheet. Mudiyanselage additionally will get flagged for his fifth throw. Yet one more every!

Javelin: Sundar Singh Gurjar has simply damaged the previous world report as effectively, throwing 64.01m to push the Cuban Gonzalez into fourth place. So two Indian throwers and one Sri Lankan have crushed Devendra’s earlier world mark at the moment, and Gonzalez might want to do the identical to get again into the medals.

Avani Lekhara wins within the ladies’s 10m standing SH1. Onerous to not, with a world report efficiency, although that hasn’t helped another athletes together with her compatriot proper now within the javelin.

She takes gold forward of Zhang Cuiping (China) and Iryna Shchetnik (Ukraine).

Soccer: Talking of Brazil, they lead Japan 1-0 within the males’s 5-a-side. First half. A win means assured qualification for both aspect.

If any Indian followers want cheering up, you’ve held on for a silver medal within the males’s F56.

Bronze goes to Cuba, congrats to Leonardo Diaz Aldana.

Within the males’s F45, ongoing, Dinesh Priyan Herath Mudiyanselage has crushed the world report by nearly 4 metres. Loopy stuff.

The javelin Devendra would have damaged his personal world report at the moment, throwing 64.35 in comparison with his earlier 63.97. However previous mate Dinesh has come alongside and blown him out of the water.

Capturing: Indian Video games followers – Avani Lekhara has simply equalled the world report within the 10m air rifle, taking pictures 249.6. Some rivals haven’t completed but, however let’s simply bookmark that…

The brand new gold throw is 45.25, and dos Santos additionally owns a world report greater than a metre past that. Yogesh drops to silver, and may’t make up floor – in discus three athletes at a time have all their throws directly, then we transfer onto the following group.

Talking of powerlifting, the second-biggest large boys are out on the bench. These are the -107kg lifters, to not be confused with the +107kg lifters, who will be any dimension from 107 as much as The Fleshlumpeater. And in some circumstances, would have the ability to bench the Fleshlumpeater.

Right now’s entrants are extra within the BFG vary, maybe. Mongolia is a mile within the lead, with Sodnompiljee Enkhbayar having pumped 241 kegs value of iron. His nearest rivals have performed 220 and 218. The underside of the desk is ending up on second lifts.

For followers of firearm work, even with out involving hearth, the ladies’s 10m air rifle standing SH1 remaining is meant to have began. I haven’t seen any information from the vary. That is one other occasion that isn’t being televised, at the very least not anyplace I can entry it. Undecided if that’s a Channel 7 factor or an IOC factor. Powerlifting and archery are others the place there’s been no stream provided. Cheers.

I let you know what, I’m going to listen to that choral Tokyo music in my desires. I’ll get up as an previous man years from now pondering that I’m again right here. There’s all the time a medal ceremony occurring within the background someplace. Aaaaah-ah-ah-aaaaah-ah-ah-aaaaah…

Shot put: That’s Uzbekistani gold medal No5 (a lesser recognized Lou Vega tune). Bobirjon Omonov wins it within the F41, which is the quick stature class.

Didn’t see what occurred with Germany’s Marcel Boettger, however he was coming final after three jumps and hasn’t gone since. The remaining athletes begin their sixth and remaining jumps. First, the 2 Swedes, who don’t enhance their place on the present backside of the standings.

Rheed McCracken wins his third silver medal on this occasion throughout the final three Paralympic Video games. Extraordinary report within the T34 wheelchair dash. The gold is taken in a brand new Video games report by Tunisia, with Walid Ktila rushing by in 15.01. McCracken was on his hammer all through however couldn’t catch up. Mohammed Alhammadi wins bronze for the UAE.

Soccer: China rating with three minutes left! The French keeper Allesandro Bartolomucci has been excellent all sport. He has made a number of top-class saves, and picked out his gamers cleverly for distribution, whereas the impasse 0-0 has continued. However proper close to the top, there’s a restart with the French wall in place. Bartolomucci is unsighted briefly as certainly one of his defenders drifts throughout him, and Zhu Ruiming unleashes a robust shot proper on the goalkeeeper’s face. His tried save is reflex, saving himself as a lot because the aim, and he will get gloves to it however the ricochet takes it into the online.

Lengthy bounce: Three jumps apiece within the T12, and Iran’s Khosravani nonetheless leads. Azerbaijan second, Uzbekistan third.

Archery: Stretton shoots a ten first up. Paterson Pine matches it. Onerous for Stretton to return again from right here. She shoots 9, then a ten. Paterson Pine shoots 9, then 9. So Stretton wins the set. However that makes it 2-2, and I feel which means PPP takes the match on total standings by a single level. 140 to 141. Neither archer shot lower than a 9 all match.

Thoughts you, there was some phenomenal taking pictures thus far in Tokyo’s morning. France’s Julie Chupin set a Video games report with 145 earlier, just for Italy’s Elonora Sarti to shoot 146 within the very subsequent match. Good whereas it lasted, Julie.

Archery: Nines to start out the fourth set, as soon as, twice. Stretton hits double figures along with her final arrow! Paterson Pine should reply… and does! Set tied, 28-28. One to go. Total rating 111-113 in favour of PPP.

Archery: The second set goes 28-27 to Stretton. Paterson Pine shoots all nines.

Archery: Fairly tough for the 2 British archers to be drawn in opposition to one another within the 1/8 elimination remaining. Given it’s a contest with the deal with nations reasonably than people, that does seem to be one thing that could possibly be prevented. However do I do know the complexities of archery seeding and attracts? No.

Any charge. Phoebe Paterson Pine wins the primary set with a few 10s, Jessica Stretton taking pictures 9-10-9 to cede it 28-29.

Lengthy bounce: The early lead goes to Azerbaijan – Mentioned Najafzade jumps 7.00 along with his first try to set a mark. Six jumps per athlete at the moment.
