Second medal of the Paralympics for Limerick teenager Roísín Ní Riain. Huge lifetime best of 2:27.47 sees her take bronze in the 200m individual medley. Adds to her silver won last Friday.

France v Argentina; blind football gold medal match. What a setting, what a backdrop

Covering the Paralympics these past two weeks, there was no desire to paint the Irish athletes as different. There was a necessity, though, to highlight what they had overcome. Their success owed to their story. You couldn’t tell one and not the other. irishexaminer.com/sport/otherspo…
