GB's Ballard claims silver in T36 100m

Great Britain's Graeme Ballard has won the silver medal in the T36 100m final after leading for much of the race.

Ballard got off to a very quick start but was just overhauled in the final 20m by Evgenii Schvetkov, whose 12.08 was a new Paralympic record.

Then Ballard led the rest of the pack, claiming silver with his 12.24, just 0.02s ahead of the bronze medal winner Roman Pavlyk of Ukraine.
