One lap to go for Paige Greco,
this is going to be a special day for The Australian.
And it is Paige Greco.
Well, Australia, you've got such a rich history in all of sport, and it continues.
Another remarkable athlete about to write another chapter in Paralympic history.
Could it be Page Grecco of Australia, who takes the gold medal
in a time of three fifty point eight one five gold medal, right.
The women's C5, 3000 meters individual pursuit.
And we are underway.
Huge, huge mountain to conquer.
This is an impressive ride by Sarah, Dame Sarah Storey.
She will take the catch and she'll take the gold medal here
at the Tokyo Paralympics. And remarkable,
another gold medal to add to her
tally for Dame Sarah Storey.
It's a gold medal for Emily Petricola of Australia.
Wonderful performance, a dominant display.
And that is just a wonderful performance from Tristan Bangma.
He is the Para Olympic champion
in the men's B 4000m individual pursuit.
This is going to be a very, very tight battle going to the wall.
It looks like it is Alberto Abarza who is going to live up to the reputation.
And the favorite tags as he touches first and claims gold for Chile in the pool.
What a swim for South America.
Chile victorious. She's got to come to the wall.
It's outside of her own world record time.
But yet again, she is a gold medalist, a champion once more at
the Paralympic Games.
And Yamada does claim Japan's first medal in the pool.
And I can tell you that all the Japanese technical officials around us
here are on their feet and applauding. Looking to come to the wall.
Here is Ben Popham, the 21 year old.
He's had the fastest time of the year,
but is he going to claim Paralympic gold as well?
It is going to be gold for the Australian and Australia claim
their fourth gold in the pool on the first day of competition.
Francesco Bocciardo claims
the Paralympic record for himself. It's Paralympic record for Ihar Boki.
Thirty four year old from Israel claws his way to the gold medal.
He's going to do it and crush her own world record in the process.
Absolutely brilliant.
Excellent win to begin from Mao here.
The finest rally that we've had in the contest so far.
Bold play, well executed.
Goodness me, really whipped it across.
And it's gone long,
can see what it means to Wong Ting Ting.
Beijer for two points.
Great shot there. Absolutely fabulous stuff.
Swings over to the right side power side with now, but they find
Canada on the left,
Nice layup.
Canada coming away with a seventy three to fifty four point win.
15 seconds for the Danes to score and deny Australia
enough time to go down the other end and find an equalizer.
Frederiksen takes it, he holds it
he wheels away on the Danish
bench erupts, because Denmark has beaten
Australia in an epic at the Yoyogi
National Stadium. Group A makes wheelchair rugby day one.
As Mark has with the
throw and Mark has makes it 11 - 2
And it shows just how dominant Brazil have been.
And it's another goal for Japan and Japan
and now one goal away from this march ending early.
Perhaps the toughest match in this group
for both teams, apart from maybe,
oh, the want to come against the USA, and that's another absolute corker
right down the line and into the corner just off the post.
It's becoming a trademark shot in this match.
