Brock Whiston stormed to her first Paralympic title as Great Britain enjoyed another superb night in the pool with four golds in Paris.

Whiston, 27, came from more than 10 seconds behind at the halfway point to overhaul Alice Tai and secure a much-coveted gold in the SM8 200m individual medley.

Maisie Summers-Newton won her second title of the 2024 Games in the SB6 100m breaststroke, while Grace Harvey upgraded her silver from Tokyo 2020 in the SB5 event.

And to close the evening, the S14 mixed 4x100m freestyle squad were in a class of their own to add to the tally.

Britain now have 16 medals in the pool so far at La Defense Arena, 11 of them gold.

In the 200m individual medley, Tai’s 10-second lead was all but wiped out on the third breaststroke leg with Whiston just edging out Viktoriia Ishchiulova in a thrilling freestyle finish, clocking two minutes 40.37 seconds.

British team-mate Tai, who took 100m backstroke gold on Saturday, got the bronze behind the Neutral Paralympic Athlete in 2:41.29 with American 16-time Paralympic champion Jessica Long fourth.

Summers-Newton, 22, led all the way as she retained her 100m breaststroke title in one minute 31.30 seconds, a Paralympic record.

She had already secured gold in the SM6 200m individual medley on Friday.

Harvey, 26, was nearly a second down at 50 metres in her race but fought past China’s Zhang Li and Ukrainian Anna Hontar to win in one minute 42.33 seconds.

Of Britain’s astounding success, Harvey said: “We are kings and queens in the pool. The team is amazing. Every single individual brings their own uniqueness to the sport, their character, their personality – and the one thing that unites us is our drive.”

In the relay, the quartet of William Ellard, Rhys Darbey, Poppy Maskill and Olivia Newman-Baronius – all teenagers – brought GB home ahead of Australia and Brazil.

It was also the second gold of these Paralympics for Ellard and Maskill.
