Great Britain's Paralympic swimmer Olivier Hynd has insisted that he will give everything to try to win a medal in the men's S8 100m backstroke final.

The Brit managed to qualify alongside compatriots Thomas Young and Sean Fraser.

"For a morning swim, I just wanted to get to the final so see what I do tonight," Hynd told BBC Radio Five Live. "That stroke is one of my strongest strokes so I want to give it all. I won't be holding back in the final."
