Silver, bronze for GB in women's SB6 breaststroke

Great Britain have taken silver and bronze in the SB6 100m breaststroke final after Charlotte Henshaw was just pipped for the gold.

Henshaw was in a battle the entire race with the eventual winner Viktoriia Savstova of Ukraine, but was edged out by just 0.03s.

Savtsova's 1:39.13 was a Paralympic record, with Henshaw's 1:39.16 also within the previous record.

Elizabeth Johnson comfortably headed off the rest of the field with her 1:40.90.
