Tully Kearney won her second Paris Paralympics title as Maisie Summers-Newton overcame nerves to add to her gold-medal collection.<\/b><\/p>\n
Brock Whiston also landed her first Paralympic medal on another successful night in the pool for Britain’s Para-swimmers.<\/p>\n
Kearney, who won S5 200m freestyle gold on Thursday, topped the podium for a second time in retaining her 100m freestyle title.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old was challenged over the first 50m by Iryna Poida but put in a strong turn and pulled clear over the second length to win in one minute 15.10 seconds – 2.27 seconds clear of her Ukrainian rival.<\/p>\n
Summers-Newton maintained her dominance in the SM6 200m individual medley, retaining the title she won in Tokyo three years ago, but said she was nervous going into the race.<\/p>\n
“I think the nerves are something that has come since Tokyo,” she said.<\/p>\n
“There is pressure being Paralympic champion and trying to defend your title \u2013 there has been a lot.<\/p>\n
“I’m just trying to enjoy it and remind myself that I’ve been at the top since 2018 \u2013 that’s a long time.”<\/p>\n
Whiston, on her Paralympic debut, finished second to 16-year-old Spaniard Anastasiya Dmytriv Dmytriv in the SB8 100m breaststroke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
