Paralympic debutant Ellie Robinson, 15, collected gold in style in the final of the women's 50m butterfly S6 event, posting a time of 35.58s to set a new Paralympic record.
"I still can't believe it. I keep looking around to check. Oh my god it is so weird," she told reporters afterwards. "I put everything I have done in training into that race.
"I didn't think it was possible and I don't think it is possible now: I can't believe it! I feel like I am going to wake up and it is a dream."

Stephanie Slater claimed silver in the women's 100m butterfly S8 with a time of 1:10.32 to earn a Paralympic medal at her debut Games.
The 25-year-old had been an accomplished able-bodied swimmer - and tipped as a future Olympian - until she was diagnosed with nerve damage in 2011.

Susie Rodgers broke her personal best on the way to collecting her fourth Paralympic bronze medal with a time of 33.26s in the 50m freestyle S7.
"I have got to be happy with a lifetime best and a medal, plus I didn't get a medal in that event in London 2012," she said after the race.
"To be honest with you I was so pleased with how it went this morning; it was so tactical, I got myself in the lane that I wanted to be in and [Denise Grahl] pushed me all the way. Fair play to her for breaking the European record."

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Lewis White also picked up a bronze, smashing his own PB with a time of 4:21.38 in the 400m freestyle S9.
"It was unreal, I was not expecting that. It has blown my mind. I am not overly sure what has happened, I am a bit dazed. Give it four years and it may sink in!" he told reporters afterwards.
"Beating my personal best was more expected than the medal because I have put the hard work in so there is no reason why as long as I get my race plan right I can't go out there and perform. But what I got out there from doing that is just absolutely unreal."
ParalympicsGB's swimming team have now picked up three golds, three silvers and five bronzes in Rio.
