Truly a generational talent, Great Britain’s Sarah Storey has just written another chapter in her remarkable sporting story.

She won the women’s C4-5 road race in a thrilling sprint finish with 19-year-old Frenchwoman Heidi Gaugain.

While it looks like Guigain will undoubtedly be the future of Para cycling, Storey continues to be the present.

That’s her 19th Paralympic gold medal across Para swimming and Para cycling.

What an athlete.

Doubles gold medallist Lina Lei is about to begin her women’s singles WS9 quarterfinal against Turkey’s Neshlihan Kavas.

Lei is a seven-time Paralympic gold medallist, winning five for China, and two for Australia.

She’s the defending champion and favourite for this event.

The gold medallist from London and Rio, Ukraine’s Yehor Dementyev has gotten the better of two French riders to win gold in the men’s C4-5 road race.

A leading back of four distinguished themselves from the rest of the race early on.

France had strength in numbers with Gatien le Rousseau and Kevin le Cunff, but it was the Ukranian who timed his sprint perfectly.

Le Cunff takes silver and the Netherland’s Martin van der Pol finishes with bronze.

Australia’s Alistair Donohoe pushed hard in the final lap.

He was sitting in 10th at its beginning but rode aggressively to finish in six with a time 2:25:58.

Susan Seipel‘s third place finish means she’ll have to go through the semis for a shot at the final. 

Great Britain’s Charlotte Henshaw was in a league of her own, she was way ahead of the rest of the competitors, finishing nine seconds clear of China’s Wang Danqin in second. 

Hungary’s Katalin Varga won the second heat to earn automatic qualification.

It is still the same four riders at the front of the men’s C4-5 road race.

With less than a lap to go, France has strength in numbers, with Gatien le Rousseau and Kevin le Cunff trading blows with Ukraine’s Yehor Dementyev and the Netherland’s Martin van den Pol.

Australia’s Alistair Donohoe was in 10th at the start of the final lap, 6:45 behind the leaders.

An outstanding heat swim from Australia’s Callum Simpson in the men’s 100m freestyle S8 event.

Simpson blitzed the field in the second heat to win in a time of 58.49, which was the fastest in the preliminary stage.

He’ll be the one to beat in the final, which will be swum at 4:33am (AEST).

Surely the greatest para cyclist of all time, Great Britain’s Sarah Storey has won yet another gold medal!

She was made to work for it though.

19-year-old Heidi Gaugain of France pushed her all the way, and it looked like she had timed her final sprint perfectly, when she pulled away from Storey with only a kilometre to go.

But Storey had enough in the tank to push back ahead and finished with a time of 1:54:24, just a hair in front of Gaugain in silver.

Colombia’s Paula Andrea Ossa Veloza took bronze.

With a time of 2:00:49, Alana Forster was Australia’s highest finisher in 7th.

She led the chasing pack for much of the race but could never quite bridge the gap.

Emily Petricola took 11th and Meg Lemon 12th.

It’s still a leading pack of three in the women’s C4-5 road race and half a lap to go, it is heading to a sprint finish.

Great Britian’s Sarah Storey is being kept in check by France’s Heidi Gaugain and Colombia’s Paula Andrea Ossa Veloza.

Australia’s Rachael Watson has produced the fastest 50m freestyle performance of her career in the heats of the S4 event.

Watson, an S3 athlete, set an Oceania record with a time of 41.34.

She was the fourth fastest qualifier for the final after finishing third in her heat.

The final will be contested at 4:03am (AEST).

In the men’s C4-5 road race, Gatien le Rousseau and Kevin le Cunff are in pole position to win a gold medal for France.

In a leading group of four, the two Frenchman are taking turns to attack the other two riders, Ukraine’s Yehor Dementyev and the Netherland’s Martin van den Pol.

Australia’s Alistair Donohoe sits in eighth with two laps to go, 5:42 off the leading pack.

Annabelle Colman has finished fourth, a wonderful effort from the youngster who stuck with the leading pack for most of the race, but just couldn’t quite reel them in at the end.

It’s a nine-second PB for her, and a new Oceania record!

Poland’s Barbara Bieganowska-Zajac claimed her fourth straight gold in this event.

Annabelle Colman has done well to stick with the three leaders and is in a position to make a move on the final lap.

20-year-old Annabelle Colman is the only Aussie in this final, she’s competing at her first Paralympics.

She’s the national record holder in this event and only the second Australian to run under five minutes in this classification.

It looks like Australia’s Alana Forster won’t be able to close the gap on the leading pack in the women’s C4-5 road race.

With one lap to go, Forster’s chasing group are a long way away from the trio of Great Britain’s Sarah Storey, France’s Heidi Gaugain and Colombia’s Paula Andrea Ossa Veloza.

These three will be on the podium.

But in what order?

Maddie McTernan has safely gone through to the women’s 100m backstroke S14 final.

McTernan swam 1:09.99 to finish third in her heat and qualify fourth fastest for the final (3:10am AEST).

Unfortunately for the Australian team, Ahmed Kelly didn’t qualify for the men’s 50m freestyle S3 final.

Kelly’s time of 52.48 saw him finish sixth in his heat.

Australia’s Alistair Donohoe has dropped further back.

He hits the 56.8km mark in 10th with a time of 1:21:14.

That’s 2 minutes and 48 seconds behind the leading pack.

It is confirmed that Australia’s other athlete in the event, Korey Boddington, is a DNF.

For all her hard work, Australia’s Alana Forster is struggling to close the gap on the leading four riders of the C4-5 road race.

She crossed the 42.6km mark with a time of 1:11:11, 1:33 behind the leading pack.

Emily Petricola is just behind Forster’s peloton in 9th and Meg Lemon is in 12th.

Great Britain’s Sarah Storey remains out in front.

Dylan Littlehales was pretty far behind Algeria’s Brahim Guendouz for most of his men’s kayak single 200m KL3 heat, but he stormed home to win a tight race with less than half a second separating first and fourth.

It means Littlehales is straight into the final, the others get another chance in the semis.

It’s now or never for Alistair Donohoe.

After leading the chasing pack for much of the C4-5 road race, he has drifted a fair way back.

He was 9th and 50 seconds off the front at the 42.6km mark.
