Josef Craig wants to win gold "all over again"

Great Britain's S7 400m freestyle gold medal winner Josef Craig has revealed that he wishes he could swim his final again after his storming victory.

Craig, who is just 15 years old, also praised the crowd's influence on his breaking of the world record by a full three seconds.

"I genuinely didn't think this would happen," Craig said. "It means more than anything in the world, I don't think anything will ever top this.

"I didn't realise that I'd broken the world record. [However] because of this great crowd I managed to. I wish I could do it all over again."

Craig's gold was ParalympicsGB's 28th of the Games so far.
