Valize is hard, hard man. He breaks away on a climb, leaving Vergnaud, and it feels inevitable that he’ll boust to the gold.
Back to the women’s road race, Vitelaru now leads, Masters and Sun with her – the others have gone … no they haven’t, EAskau of Germany rejoining the group. Apparently, Masters was complaining at the lack of help she was getting from the others, but I guess it’s every rider for themselves.
In the mens Valize leads Vergnaud, while Costa now leads Bal in the second group.
All change in the men’s up to 50kg powerlifting! Qi Yongkai, the defending champ, who lifted 192kg in round one, sorts out 197 second go and goes to the top of the leaderboard. Mohsen Bakhtiar of Iran is second on 195 and now Elmenyawy of Egypt, in front after his first go, will have a hack at 198 … and up it goes! This is a contest! The chief ref gave him a red but the other two were happy, and so is yerman
In the women’s race, Sun stil leads, but with her are Masters, Eskai and Vitelaru, while in the men’s, Bal of Ukraine has had enough of trying to catch the leaders with the help of Portugal’s Costa, so he sprints off a loan to close on the pack.
Shorn of teammate De Vries, Valize is looking to do it himself, but Vergnaud is right behind … but have a look! In the women’s race, Haenen takes a corner too quickly, crashes, and she’ll do well to get back involved never mind challenge for anything. Sun of China now leads, Masters behind her.
Masters still leads the women’s road race and she’s chatting to Haenen of the Netherlands; in the men’s Vergnaud has broken away and Valize is in pursuit, catching him as I type.
Smack laid down in the men’s powerlifting, Mohamed Elmenyawy of Egypt banging 194kg first up; behind him, Herbert Aceituno of El Salvador us on 193 with two more having hosited 192.
The men complete their first lap of four, Liu Qiangli now leading but by very little. Tim de Vries of the Netherlands has been has been dropped – I think he may have endured a misfortune – but he’s chasing and Valize, his teammate, will want him back to help him go for gold. Meantime in the women’s race, they’re further behind, Chantal Haenen leading with Oksana Masters of USA, the favourite, looking strong behind her.
The distance they’ve to cover, by the way, yanking their wheels round and round, is 56.8km. I’ve no idea how they manage it and I’m in awe.
In the men’s road race, Loic Vergnaud of France is setting the pace; he won solver last time, but Mitch Valize of the Netherlands who took gold in Tokyo is only just behind and the man they all fear.
The men’s up to 59kg powerlifting is under way, the early leading mark 176kg hoisted by Stanislav Shakiyev of Kazakhstan.
I’m still buzzing from this last evening. And don’t forget, Sammi goes again in the 400m this evening; of course we’ll be bringing it to you.
Channel 4 are now showing women’s wheelchair basketball from earlier – I’ve no idea why given there’s live sport going and this is for classification 5-8. But GB beat Japan 67-55.
Tapia rings the bell and that is, I think, the end of our morning athletics sesh. But fear not: we’ve both the men’s and women’s H5 para cycling road races about to start.
Oney Tapia of Italy wins gold in the men’s F11 shot put
Hassan Bajoulvand of Iran takes silver and Alvaro del Amo Cano of Spain bronze.
…it’s good … but it’s not good enough. 40.44 isn’t his best effort but it it is better than the marks hit by all but Tapia, who’ll now take his last throw knowing he’s the champ. He has to make do with 39.09 and he celebrates like he means it, cuddling with his team. Well done sir.
Back to the discus, Alvaro del Amo Cano is about to go, lying fifth … and he lands 39.60! That shatters his PB by 40cm! He moves into the bronze-medal position and lumps pressure on Mahdi Olad who has one shot at bettering him … and he can’t! So if Bajiulvand can’t beat 41,92, having already hurled a PB of 41.75, Tapia takes gold. Here he comes…
Yao Juan of China wins gold in the women’s F64 shot put
Arelle Middleton of USA, aged just 16, takes silver and Yang Yue of China the bronze.
We’re getting towards the last round of the men’s discus, Oney Tapia of Italy leading with 41.92, landed just now, from Hassan Bajoulvand of Iran’s 47.75.
Safia Djelal of Algeria wins gold in the women’s F57 shot put with a Paralympic record of 11.56m
Xi Mian of China takes silver and Nassima Saifi of Algeria bronze.
Clara Fuentes of Venezuela wins gold in the women’s up to 50kg powerlifting with a Paralympic record of 124kg
Xiao Jinping of China takes silver and Olivia Broome of GB bronze, both raising 119.
She hollers, she lifts … and no, she can’t get it up. I think, though, that I was wrong about the rules – there’s a powerlift the athletes can go for to split them, but in meantime, Fuentes comes out to go at 124kg … and Funmi Oduwaiye takes her final go in the shot, looking to force her way from fifth into the medal positions … but she cannot. Still, a great effort from her, but back to the powerlifting, Fuentes, who missed 120 in the opening round, bangs 124 to break the Paralympic record! I’m not certain how things progress from here, but bear with me and I’ll let you know once I do.
Go on Olivia! She takes out 119kg, so if Xiao Jinping can’t complete her next lift, I think she’ll take silver because Xiao failed at 123. For her part, the Chinese will, I imagine, go for gold and look to beat the 120 leading mark. Yup, she’s going for 123kg and here it comes…
She’s going for 119kg, secure in the knowledge bronze is hers…
That battle for the bronze is raging in the powerlifting. Akidakhon Akhtamova of Uzbekistan can’t lock out 115kg and here comes Camila Campos of Chile trying for 117, Broome having raised 114 … and she can’t! So Bose Bejide of Nigeria attacks 118 … nope. Broome is next to go, 119 to beat to move second and 120 to go first.
The shot’s going on, a Brit is chucking, and on the specific athletics coverage we’re watching … a medal ceremony. Come on lads.
Arelle Middleton, the 16-year-old American, is second in the shot and she delivers 12.02 – 17cm off her best but still well beyond the next best, that 11.77 I mentioned a moment ago.
Time to drop in on the women’s F64 shot and Funmi Oduwaiye is ready. She spins … and lands 10.90, well off her best of 11.27, which is good enough for fourth. For third, she needs to better Yang Yue’s 11.77.
Now then! Clara Fuentez Monasterio of Venezuela has just smashed 120kg in the powerlifting and leads, having broken the Paralympic record; there are five athletes contesting the medals, and this is getting serious. Broome slips down to the bronze-medal position.
