Thanks Geoff. Hope you’ve all been enjoying the action so far, it’s been thrilling hasn’t it?
And Geoff said, there’s plenty going on at the moment, including medals being that are being decided as we speak, so let’s get into it.

Right then. Plenty of medal events in train at the moment: the women’s F55 discus, the men’s -59kg powerlifting, and the men’s F38 javelin, where Australia’s Corey Anderson (who is not the New Zealand cricketer) holds the world record but is currently in fourth place.
While they are all midstream, this may be my best chance to hand over to Luke Henriques-Gomes.

Good day to you, whatever time it is and whatever place you’re in. The Tokyo 2020* Paralympics Day 3 of competition is underway. There will as ever be a very busy schedule across the venues of Tokyo.
- Track and field begins today. Thus far most of the major events have been in the pool or at the velodrome, but there will be category medals coming in the long jump, 5000 metres, javelin, shot put, and the women’s T35 100 metres.
- Track cycling has more medals going in individual pursuit categories and time trials.
- Equestrian brings in two more dressage categories, after we decided three yesterday.
- Judo has its first day of competition, with a slew of fights all through the day, ending up in the medal bouts.
- Powerlifting has four more medal categories to be decided.
- Swimming has a host of finals to be swum later today.
