ParalympicsGB picked up early medals on the track and in the Para-equestrian arena as they started their day six campaign at the Paris Paralympics.

Samantha Kinghorn won her second silver of the Games, putting in a strong performance to come in second in the women’s T54 1500m.

Natasha Baker and Georgia Wilson added bronzes in the individual grade III and II events at the Chateau de Versailles.

Gold medal winning swimmers Ellie Challis and Tully Kearney progressed through their heats as they seek further medals, while star table tennis player Will Bayley is also in action later.

Monday’s results take GB’s Paris medal count to 57, including 29 golds – second only to China (92, including 45 golds), who have topped the table at the past five Games.

Kinghorn made it a pair of Paris silvers, taking second place in the women’s T54 1500m.

The Scottish athlete, who’d already taken silver in the T53 800m and will race in the 100m on Wednesday, came in behind Switzerland’s Catherine Debrunner.

Kinghorn, who has also presented Countryfile, admitted she stopped momentarily with 200m to go because she thought the race was over, but still powered home in a time of three minutes 16.01 seconds.

Team-mates Eden Rainbow-Cooper and Melanie Woods were seventh and eighth respectively.

Meanwhile, Nathan Maguire races this evening in the men’s T54 1500m final (20:10 BST).

At some point, it becomes a question of storage.

Baker may need to build an extra shelf after she won her ninth Paralympic medal in the individual grade III event.

The 34-year-old, who has now won medals at the past four games, returned to action after the birth of her son Joshua in April 2023.

“I’m not as fit as I was in Tokyo, I’m juggling being the best mum I can be and the best athlete I can be,” said Baker, who scored 73.167 on Dawn Chorus.

“The juggle is real, you know on your computer when you have a million tabs open, that’s my brain at all times, anyone who is a mum will understand.”

Her success was mirrored by Wilson in the grade II competition, with the Tokyo medallist coming in third with a score of 73.414.

Debutant Mari Durward-Akhurst will hope to make it three from three when she goes in the grade I event (12:45).

What do you do the day after winning your first Paralympic gold medal? Why, go out and try and win another one.

Having triumphed in the women’s S3 50m backstroke yesterday, Challis kicked off her quest for a podium place in the 100m freestyle.

The 20-year-old confessed she was off for a nap, having not had much sleep after Monday’s gold-winning performance, but will return to the pool this evening alongside a number of other GB medal prospects.

Kearney already has two Paris golds in her collection, and she’s going for a third in the women’s S5 50m backstroke, finishing third in her heat to reach this evening’s session.

World champion Faye Rogers, an Olympic trialist in 2021 prior to suffering permanent damage to her arm in a car accident, was in dominant form in the women’s S10 100m butterfly, qualifying fastest for her final.

Meanwhile, twins Eliza and Scarlett Humphrey will race each other for the second time in the Games after reaching the final of the women’s SM11 200m individual medley.

There’s still plenty of action to come in another jam-packed day at the Paris Paralympics.

GB and Australia resume their old rivalry in the quarter-finals of the men’s wheelchair basketball (18:15), while four-time medallist Bayley faces Germany’s Bjoern Schnake in the quarter-finals of the men’s MS7 singles (17:30).

There’s also plenty of boccia competitors looking to follow in the footsteps of Stephen McGuire, with GB teams in action in the team and pairs events through the day.
