Tokyo Paralympics 2020 day three: athletics begins, swimming, cycling and more – live!

Women’s 100m: The T35 category is for athletes with coordination impairments, and Australia’s Isis Holt holds the world record with 13.43. She adds a Games record of 13.49 in winning her heat.

Qualifying behind her are Isabelle Ferder (Germany) and Oxana Corso (Italy).

From the other heat are Zhou Xia (China), Maria Lyle (Great Britain), Fatimah Suwaed (Iraq), Jagoda Kibil (Poland), and Nienke Timmer (Netherlands).

Long jump: Salvatina (Brazil) and Karlsson (Sweden) both foul on their third jumps. Pavlenko lands her jump, injury notwithstanding, and gets within 3cm of Mirzayorova before limping away again. The Uzbek doesn’t better her own first place jump of 4.89 on her next attempt, instead logging 4.64 metres.

Long jump: Uzbekistan and Ukraine in the top two spots so far, but Yulia Pavlenko in second comes up from her jump limping. Looks in trouble as she hobbles off. If so, Asila Mirzayorova tightens her hold on gold.

5000 metres: Karasawa Kenya of Japan puts on the afterburners with a lap to go, scorching past most of the field after having spent the race settled back in the back. He comes up to Jacques, but Jacques has bided him time and is able to kick coming into the last bend, where Kenya has already used his kick and instead drops away.

Gold for Brazil! Silver and bronze for Japan, with Wada Shinya coming up into third position.

5000 metres: Jacques is back to the lead now, Kiprop dropping to third.

5000 metres: The Brazilian runner Yeltsin Jacques has been leading up to the halfway mark, but Rodgers Kiprop of Kenya has come up to take the lead. Jacques drops in right behind and keeps on the pace at this stage.

Anyone looking for a bit of Straya! barracking in the Australian morning, the men’s wheelchair basketballers have steamed into half time with a 42-17 win over Algeria. Algeria, on the other hand, produced the writing of Albert Camus, which Australia really can’t rival. Honours even, then.

Did I miss the fencing, earlier? Yep, the wheelchair fencing has the team épée gold at the end of the day’s qualifying fights. And there are some rowing heats as well.

The men’s T11 5000 metres is about to start, while the long jumpers start off. These runners will race with a guide alongside them, tethered by the wrist.

Cheerful scenes at the track, where the competitors in the women’s T11 long jump are being introduced. This is the vision-impaired category, so they’re all wearing eyeshades and being accompanied out by an Olympic volunteer. As each name is read out to the crowd, the athletes are waving and smiling, some jumping up and down in anticipation of getting started.

The archery ranking rounds with the compound and recurve bows are being held this morning Tokyo time as well, setting up how the competition will unfold on later days.
