So here’s where we will wrap things up for day eight at the Paralympic Games.

Three more gold medals for Australia today, those coming via wins for Lauren Parker, Vanessa Low and Timothy Hodge.

Samuel Von Einem also added to Australia’s tally, winning bronze in the para table tennis.

Here is a look at the latest medal tally.

Australian para swimmer Timothy Hodge claims his first individual Paralympic gold medal, winning the men’s 200m individual medley S9.

Unfazed by the rain-soaked course and a delayed start to the race, Lauren Parker completes a famous victory in the women’s H1-4 road race, as she wins her second gold across two sports in Paris.

Although men’s blind football has been a Games mainstay since Athens 2004, the women’s game is yet to be included on the Paralympic program.

But it’s only a matter of time before it is.

Whether it’s at LA 2028 or Brisbane 2032, the newly formed Australian women’s blind football team will hope to not only be there but be competitive.

Earlier in the year, I had the opportunity to learn a bit more about a really exciting new chapter in Australian sport.

Venezuela’s powerlifting champion didn’t know when her hands would stop trembling after setting a Games record at the Paris Paralympics on Thursday.

“I’m out of words, I’m emotional,” Clara Sarahy Fuentes Monasterio said after bench-pressing 124 kilograms for the gold medal in the women’s 50kg class.

It’s been a wild three years for the Paralympian since she lifted 97 kilos for the 41kg bronze medal in Tokyo. Her body changed after giving birth to her son Liam last year.

“I feel much stronger now,” said Fuentes Monasterio, who credited her child as “my motivation”.

Fuentes Monasterio, who uses a wheelchair, said her muscle mass increased “a lot” after giving birth. She didn’t expect it would lead to a Paralympics record.

“My hands are still trembling. I don’t know when they will stop,” the 27-year-old lifter said.

The Iranian men’s sitting volleyball team shrugged off its first hiccup of the Paris Paralympics to beat Egypt in four sets Thursday and advance to the gold medal match.

The seven-time Paralympic champions will go for their third straight gold in Friday’s final against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Iran dropped the third set against Egypt but was back to its dominating self in the fourth, winning it 25-8 to clinch the semifinal victory.

With the tallest Paralympian on its roster, Iran has the height advantage on the court. Morteza Mehrzadselakjani is over 8-feet tall and towers over the net, slamming home shots that are hard to defend.

“If I’m, let’s say, the winner of this championship, bringing (him) can be considered one of the most important (things) that I have already done during my own life,” head coach Hadi Rezaeigarkani said after the match.

Paris marks Mehrzadselakjani’s third Paralympic Games — he already possesses two golds from Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. At a young age he was diagnosed with acromegaly, a condition that causes excess growth. Mehrzadselakjani uses a wheelchair to get around since a bicycle accident injured his pelvis and stunted the growth of his right leg, which is six inches shorter than his left.

The United States are through to the gold medal match in the wheelchair basketball after thrashing Canada 80-43.

The Americans will take on Great Britain in the gold medal match.

Meanwhile, Canada will take on Germany for the bronze medal.

USA outscored Canada 40-11 in the second half, with Brian Bell (31 points, 10 rebounds) leading the way.

We’ve got the medal ceremony currently taking place for the boccia mixed pairs – BC3.

Hong Kong, China takes the gold after winning the gold medal match 5-3 against the Republic of Korea.

Hong Kong’s pairing of Ho Yuen Kei and Tse Tak Wah far too strong Korea’s Jeong Howon and Kang Sunhee.

Good morning everyone, my name is Chris De Silva and I’ll be taking you through this morning’s action!

Just want to give my teammate Mick Doyle a shoutout for some terrific coverage overnight.

We’ve still got some live action here, particularly in the wheelchair basketball, where the United States hold a 16-point lead over Canada late in the third quarter of their semi final clash.

Good morning Merrowyn.

Thanks for joining the ABC Sport live blog.

Can’t argue with anything you wrote.

These Paralympics have been sensational, with some truly outstanding sporting achievements.

We mentioned Aussie Jackson Hamilton placing sixth in the men’s javelin F13 — but let’s talk about the gold medallist.

Great Britain’s Daniel Pembroke has smashed the world record to claim gold.

Coming into the event, the world record was 71.01m.

Pembroke first broke the record on his third attempt with a throw of 71.15m

But that was just the warm-up.

His fourth attempt was an astonishing 74.49m.

Australian Jackson Hamilton has placed sixth in the final of the men’s javelin F13.

His opening throw was his best, an effort of 59.20m which is a new area record.

We have had the heats of the men’s 100m T52.

Aussie Sam McIntosh finished fifth in the second heat.

His time of 17.88 seconds was not enough to qualify for the final.

Sam missed out by 0.12 of a second.

Great effort Sam.

Maria Strong has completed their six throws and the competition is over.

The Australian achieved a best throw of 6.35m, which earns Max eighth place.

Wu Qing from China claimed gold with a throw of 7.98m — a new Paralympic record.

Turning our attention back to the women’s shot put F33 final.

The final competitor is up — Australian Maria Strong.

Maz will have to wait a moment as we listen to the United States national anthem.

For Strong to medal, they will need a throw of 7.74m or greater.

Australian Jackson Hamilton is competing in the men’s javelin F13 final.

Halfway through the competition, Hamilton has a best throw of 59.20m.

That is a new Area record. Australia’s area is Oceania.

Hamilton is currently sixth.

Great Britain’s Daniel Pembroke has just set a new world record of 71.15m.

Aussie Paralympic star Alexa Leary has been doing the media rounds after claiming gold and a world record on day seven in Paris.

Leary ate crepes with Lauren Parker, someone who messages Lex after her life-changing accident.

Speaking to media, including ABC Sport’s David Mark who is in Paris, Leary spoke of the “second life” she is currently living since her bicycle accident.

“I used to be a triathlete. I used to have [another] life and I personally don’t remember it,” she said.

“I didn’t even know, in the hospital, who my mum was.

“I just think this life that I am living now, my second life, I’m loving it.”

It is time for the final medal event involving an Australian today.

Jackson Hamilton is the Aussie to look out for in the final.

Vanessa Low is the Paralympic champion again.

The Aussie has defended the women’s long jump T63 crown she won in Tokyo.

Low’s opening jump of 5.45m, a new world record for T61 athletes (which Low is classified as), was more than enough to claim the gold medal.
