This is the last post of the day after another spectacular performance from the Australian Paralympic team.

Two golds, three silvers, and four bronze medals in Paris sees Australian sitting ninth on the medal tally.

And it was a particularly beautiful moment when Alexa Leary won her gold in the pool having broken the world record twice in a day.

"Lex does not know how to rest," her sister Maddy told ABC Gold Coast this morning.

"She runs on minimal sleep. It's just not in her DNA. She is go, go, go, almost 100 per cent of the time.

"I think that this her winning goal gives her a whole new identity. You know, that was the number one thing she lost after the accident. She didn't know who she was anymore, and to watch her win gold this, this is a new story and a new page for her."

Brilliant stuff. You love to see it.

Luke Pentony will be back this afternoon to cover the start of the next day of action. In the meantime, thank you for joining us again and here's to another great night in Paris.

Alexa Leary (swimming, women's 100m freestyle, S9)

One of the richest redemption stories keeps getting richer. Leary smashed a world record she had set earlier in the day to career home and win her second gold medal of her debut Games. 

Yang Qian (table tennis, women's singles S10)

The Chinese-born table tennis player is a woman of few words but of many medals. Defending her Tokyo crown, the 28-year-old emerged with a 3-0 win over Natalia Partyka.

Lauren Parker (cycling, women's H1-3 individual time trial)

Chasing an historic gold double after her triathlon triumph, Parker went desperately close to finishing first. She finished just 9.50 seconds behind American winner Katerina Brim.

Meg Lemon (cycling, women's C4 individual time trial)

After winning bronze in Tokyo, the 34-year-old went one better but was unable to reel in Samantha Bosco of the USA. 

Alistair Donohoe (cycling, men's C5 individual time trial)

Donohoe won silver at Rio and bronze in Tokyo but he couldn't better them against Dutch racer Daniel Abraham, who finished 26.87 seconds ahead of the Australian.

Alana Forster (cycling, women's C5 individual time trial)

A triumphant first Paralympic medal for the Victorian, who two years ago was in emergency care after being involved in a near-fatal car crash. 

Darren Hicks (cycling, men's C2 individual time trial)

Hicks, who won gold at Tokyo, went close to retaining his crown but he finished 15.63 seconds off an inspired showing from eventual winner Alexandre Leaute of France.

Ricky Betar (swimming, men's 200m individual medley S14)

The 20-year-old looked to have a strong chance of picking up a gold medal when he led the race through the first 100m. But Canada's Nicholas Bennett and Great Britain's Rhys Darbey finished strongly to place ahead of him.

Grant Patterson (swimming, men's 50m breaststroke, SB2)

A fourth Paralympic medal for the colourful 35-year-old who made a late move to finish in third. Patterson declared after his race he wanted to keep competing until Brisbane 2032.

Just a reminder of Qian Yang's incredible achievement overnight, winning her second gold of the Games by claiming the women's singles WS10.

Yang won gold earlier in the Games with Li Na Lei in the women's doubles WD20.

The pair represented China at previous Paralympic Games, but moved to Australia after Rio 2016.

And now Qian Yang has an individual gold for Australia!

Fadi Aldeeb got the competing out of the way early at the Paralympic Games. He's been using the rest of the time to talk.

The only Paralympian in the Palestinian delegation in Paris, Aldeeb feels he bears special responsibility to represent all Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and elsewhere. He tries not to think about his own situation.

"I'm their voice. And I want to talk and talk and talk," he said.

The 40-year-old Aldeeb, who uses a wheelchair, was the Palestinian flag bearer during the Games' opening ceremony, two days before he placed last in the men's shot put for seated athletes with a season best throw of 8.81m.

The winner, world record holder Ruzhdi Ruzhdi, returned to Bulgaria with his gold medal, but Aldeeb has stayed around the Paralympic Village, speaking to media about the desperate situation in his homeland.

Aldeeb said he lost his younger brother on December 6 when the building containing the family home in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shijaiyah was bombed and destroyed.

Aldeeb, who besides competing in shot put is a professional wheelchair basketball player, was playing a French league match and only saw afterward he'd received many missed calls from the brother. There was no connection when he tried calling back. Another brother told him the next day he had been killed.

"I received a call from his daughter, she's like, 7-years-old. I never ever can forget this," Aldeeb said, fighting tears. 

Aldeeb said other family members decided to scatter around the Gaza Strip to maximize their chances of survival.

"If they stay together, it's all too easy that all of this family disappears and is killed," he said.

Aldeeb said he hasn't seen his own wife and children for two years because they're still in Turkey, where he moved from Gaza in 2016 to play basketball. They can't get a visa to join him in France, and he says he can't get a visa to join them in Turkey without going to Gaza.

Aldeeb said he received his life-changing injury on October 4, 2001. He said he was shot in the back by an Israeli sniper when soldiers responded with bullets after kids threw stones at an Israeli tank.

Another comment here from the aptly named Loving Paralympian Performance asking about the classifications and what they mean.

As luck would have it, here's one we prepared earlier:

As Lach points out below, Dylan Alcott has won medals in two different sports at the Paralympic Games, with basketball in 2008 and tennis in 2016 and 2020.

All the reporting on Lauren Parker overnight has been that she's the first dual-sport Australian Paralympic medallist in 44 years. 

I'm going to assume right now that Parker is the first in 44 years to do it at the same Games, but I'm going to search for some clarity on that.

Good spot Lach.

Taymon Kenton-Smith turned heads on in the men's individual recurve as he went on a giant-killing run. 

Boasting green and gold dyed hair and a feather in his cap, the Queenslander knocked over Mexico's world No. 1 Samuel Molina and world No. 4 Jun Gan of China before losing his semi-final and the bronze medal match to place fourth overall.
