Blake has no complaints with silver

T36 400m silver medal winner Paul Blake has said that he cannot have any complaints after winning bronze at his first Paralympics.

Blake, who lost to a world record from the Russian Evgenii Shvetcov, also admitted that he lost to the better man on the day.

"It was a pretty amazing atmosphere," Blake said. "I can't complain about the support, I've never had that much in my life.

"I didn't win but it's my first Paralympics and I can't complain. "I was aware of the leader but I was focusing on my own race. He was just stronger on the day and congratulations to him."

Blake's was Britain's second medal of the evening on the track.
