And Yang Liwan secured her third Paralympic gold medal for China, winning the women's shot put F54.

The 38-year-old recorded a best throw of 7.89m to fall just one centimeter short of her own world record set in April.

Tunisia's Hania Aidi took silver with a longest throw of 6.86m and Fadhila Nafati grabbed bronze with 6.38m.
