Day one
Dame Sarah Storey could win GB’s first medal of the Games, and move to within one of swimmer Mike Kenny’s GB record of 16 Paralympic gold medals, in the C5 3,000m Individual Pursuit at the Velodrome, with qualifying scheduled for 11.10am (3.10am) and the final at 2.25pm (6.25am). Her teammate Crystal Lane-Wright should provide lively competition.
In the pool, Australia’s Brenden Hall will be strong favourite to defend his S9 400m Freestyle title in the final at 5.10pm (9.10am). Ellie Robinson will look to add S6 50m freestyle gold to the 50m butterfly title she won at Rio 2016. Heats are at 10.33am (2.33am) and the final 6.47pm (10.47am).
