Paralympics 2024: Maisie Summers-Newton and Brock Whiston win gold at Paris Games

Brock Whiston stormed to her first Paralympic title and Maisie Summers-Newton won her second gold of the 2024 Games on another superb night for Great Britain’s swimmers 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.

Tai, who took 100m backstroke gold on Saturday, got the bronze as Whiston won in two minutes 40.37 seconds.

Britain now has 14 medals in the pool so far at La Defense Arena, nine of them gold.

There could be more to come on Sunday with Grace Harvey and the mixed 4x100m freestyle relay team holding strong chances.

Callie-Ann Warrington was 0.08 seconds away from a medal in the S10 100m freestyle, finishing fourth in one minute 01.10 seconds as France’s Emeline Pierre thrilled the crowd by taking gold in 1:00.49.

Briton Bruce Dee, 17, came fifth in the opening race of the programme, the men’s SB6 100m breaststroke.

Summers-Newton had already secured gold in the SM6 200m individual medley on Friday.
