scull

It was not just individuals who stood out, with GB’s golden Sunday including mixed double sculls, mixed coxed four, mixed team sprint and mixed freestyle triumphs.

Over in the rowing, GB's Benjamin Pritchard set a Paralympic Games best time in the PR1 men's single sculls heats to set him up for the finals.

Both won medals in rowing - silver in the women's four and gold in the women's quad sculls respectively.

Great Britain’s photo-finish win over the Netherlands in the women’s quadruple sculls rowing was by a finer margin too, as were Adam Peaty and Matt Richards’ silvers in the pool.

Meanwhile, Ireland's Fintan McCarthy and Paul O’Donovan retained their Olympic lightweight men’s double sculls title with a brilliant performance, crossing the line two seconds clear of silver medallists Italy with Greece taking bronze.
