Wheelchair racer Andrew Small and archer Phoebe Paterson Pine claimed more gold for Great Britain at the Tokyo Paralympics on Monday.

Small held on for victory in the T33 100m final, while Paterson Pine took out the women's individual compound open division at the archery range.

Small flew out of the blocks at the National Stadium in Tokyo to set up a gap on the field, before defending champion Ahmad Almutairi of Kuwait started closing in on him late on.

The Briton held on, however, to take the gold by just a tenth of a second in 17.73 seconds, claiming an upgrade on the bronze he took behind Almutairi at Rio 2016.

Small's Great Britain team-mate Harri Jenkins took bronze in a season's best 18.55secs, while another Briton, James Freeman, finished fourth of the five in the field.

"I entered the race, I don't ever expect outcomes, I just go and do it and see what happens and hey ho this is where we got," the 28-year-old Small told Channel 4.

What's coming up?

Sprinter Jonnie Peacock will attempt to make it a hat-trick of golds in the T64 100m. Ellie Robinson will defend her 50m butterfly S6 title, while fellow swimmer Stephanie Millward will look to retain gold in the S6 100m backstroke.
