The penultimate day for Team GB produced four more medals but they have dropped to third in medals table, two golds behind Russia despite winning 17 more medals than them. Today's Golden Boy was David Stone in the Mixed T1-2 Road Race. Smith adds this gold to his bronze already won in the games finishing just .07 seconds ahead of silver medallist Giorgio Farroni of Italy.
David Smith won silver in the Mixed Individual BC1 Boccia final. Smith had already won bronze in these games and faced Thailand's Pattaya Tadtong in the final. Unfortunately, Tadtong was far too strong for Smith and the Thai player won 7-0 to take the gold medal.
21-year old Harriet Lee added to GB's Swimming medals with bronze in the Women's 100m Breaststroke - Sb9 class. Lee finished behind Australia's Sophie Pascoe, winning her sixth medal of the games, who set an Oceanic record of 1:18.38. Ukraine's Khrystyna Yurchenko took gold by setting a European Record of 1:17.81 at the age of 19.
Eleanor Simmonds added silver to her two golds and a bronze in the Women's 100m Freestyle - S6 class. Simmonds set a European Record of 1:14.82 but it wasn't enough to beat USA's Victoria Arlen who added gold to her three silver medals in World Record time of 1:13.33.
