Clare Balding and Rose Ayling-Ellis take over presenting duties live from the heart of the Paralympic Village in Paris, where they catch up with athletes in between what promises to be some scintillating Paralympics action as GB bid to secure their first medals of the Games. Kadeena Cox is undoubtedly a ParalympicsGB legend. With six medals - four of them gold - across two sports, she's already written her name into the history books. The arena that she undoubtedly rules most dominantly is the cycling track, in the C4-5 Time Trial, an event she's claimed gold in at the last two Paralympics. Can she make it three out of three in Paris? Also at the velodrome, there's the final of the Men's B 4000m Individual Pursuit, where GB's hopes lie with Neil Fachie, Steve Bate and James Ball.
