ParalympicsGB have enjoyed their best day for gold medals this century after winning 12 on Sunday.

The team more than doubled their gold tally at the Paris Games to 24 after 11 were claimed in the first three days of competition.

Victories in athletics, cycling, rowing and swimming saw Great Britain surpass the previous daily record of nine, which was reached at both Beijing 2008 and Rio 2016.

The gold rush began at the rowing lake with Benjamin Pritchard’s victory in the men’s single sculls.

On the track at the Stade de France, Hannah Cockroft claimed her fourth successive women’s T34 100m title to clinch GB’s first para-athletics gold in Paris.

Sabrina Fortune broke the world record with a throw of 15.12m to win the women’s F20 shot put gold.

Three golds were won at the velodrome in the French capital.

James Ball claimed the men’s B 1000m time trial gold, Sophie Unwin won the women’s B 3000m individual pursuit final, and there was gold for Jody Cundy, Jaco van Gass and Kadeena Cox in the mixed 750m team sprint.

Three rowing golds were won on Sunday, including by Lauren Rowles and Gregg Stevenson in the mixed double sculls, and in the mixed coxed four event.

And GB’s success in the swimming pool continued with four more gold medals.

Maisie Summers-Newton won the women’s SB6 100m breaststroke title, Brock Whiston claimed gold in the women’s SM8 200m individual medley, Grace Harvey took the women’s SB5 100m breaststroke gold, and a team of four GB teenagers won the mixed S14 4x100m relay.

Six other medals were won on Sunday, making it 18 for the day overall, including athletics silvers for Kare Adenegan (women’s T34 100m) and Samantha Kinghorn (women’s T53 800m).

At the end of day four, China topped the medal table with 33 golds, 27 silvers and 11 bronzes.
