More medals are in grasp when McGrath chases gold in the finals of the Para Canoe KL2 class, and after conquering the 400m in world record time, James Turner is all set to jet in the 100m final. 

Alexa Leary will bring her golden vibes in the pool for the mixed 4x100m relay, and the always entertaining Scooter Patterson is joined by our best men’s and women’s individual medley swimmers, when they take on their respective 200m events.

Aussies will also compete in the Para Cycling Road Race, Para Equestrian, Table Tennis and Para Judo alongside the Men’s finals of the Wheelchair Basketball and Blind Football, on the penultimate day of competition in Paris.

And after raking in four medals in the Road time trials, our Para Cycling team will take on the Road Race straight off the top of the coverage at 5.30pm AEST on 9GemHD. Meg Lemon, Alana Forster and “The Flying Mullet” Alistair Donohue are all eager to go one better than their silver medals from the Time Trial.

Day 9 Athlete in Focus: Lin Ma, Para Table Tennis

Lin Ma has only his left arm after his right arm was amputated when he was five following a terrible accident at a zoo involving a bear. He started playing table tennis competitively about 10 years later and within three years of that, had become the gold medallist in singles and teams at the World Para Championships. Success continued at the 2008 Games in Beijing and far beyond.

Lin moved to Melbourne after the Rio Games, and registered with Table Tennis Australia. He won two silver medals in Tokyo and wants to add to his collection of 4 gold medals in Paris, with his first representing Australia. He calls Melbourne home.
