So we come to the end of another successful day for Australia at the Paris Paralympics, the penultimate day of competition.

Congratulations to James Turner and para-canoeist Curtis McGrath for their gold medals, and to all those who made the podium on day 10.

This is my final contribution to the Paralympics blogs for Paris.

I first covered the Paralympics nearly a quarter of a century ago in Sydney, and the Games remain as exciting, emotional and uplifting as they have ever been.

From swimmers like Alexa Leary, Ben Hance and Ahmed Kelly to Lauren Parker in para road cycling and para triathlon, the Steelers in wheelchair rugby to Daniel Michel and Jamieson Leeson in boccia just to name a few, the Australians have reminded us that this is not just about elite sporting competition but also about the stories they bring and the journeys they have taken to get here.

My friend and colleague Luke Pentony will kick off the blog for the final day of competition in under seven hours' time, with the marathons, including Australia's Madison de Rozario in the women's T54 event.

In the meantime, on behalf of everyone who has helped bring you today's action, I'm Andrew McGarry, thanking you for joining us and wishing you a very good morning!  

Here are some images from day 10 of competition in Paris.

We have a story updating the medal tally after day 10 in Paris.

You can look through Australia's 10 medallists on the penultimate day of competition, and see where that puts them on the overall standings.

Speaking of James Turner, the 28-year-old has been recognised for his performances in Paris and his leadership in the para-athletics team by being listed as one of Australia's two flag-bearers for tomorrow morning's closing ceremony.

His name is on the official list of flag-bearers, and the news has been confirmed by the Australian Paralympic Committee.

The other Australian athlete named on the official list of flag-bearers should come as little surprise, as Lauren Parker will also carry the flag.

Parker rounds out a Games where she became the first Australian in 48 years to win gold medals in two separate para sports at the same Paralympics.

Her performances in Paris saw Parker win the women's PTWC triathlon after being pipped on the line in Tokyo. She then outrode her opposition, finishing more than four minutes ahead of her rivals in the women's H1-4 road race.

Congratulations to both athletes!

At the Stade de France on day 10, Australia's James Turner produced another brilliant run to win gold in the men's 100m T36 final.

Speaking to ABC Sport after the race, Turner said he thought his Paris dreams may not be realised after he fell ill with glandular fever earlier this year.

"There were days where I could barely walk, I was stumbling, I could barely talk," he said.

"For a little bit, I was even thinking I might not even make the Games."

Turner, who won the 400m T36 in world record time earlier in the Games, broke clear in the final 30m to earn his second gold medal in Paris in the 100m event.

There have been a fair number of world records fall at these Paralympics.

One of the oldest standing marks fell at the Stade de France, where Brazilian runner Rayane Soares de Silva won the women's 400m T13 final.

De Silva missed out on the final in this event in Tokyo, and she admitted to being badly affected when she found out she was running from lane eight in the final in Paris.

"Last night, when I found out I was going to be in lane eight, it was very difficult to sleep. I was nervous, my heart was beating fast," she said.

It turned out she didn't need to worry. De Silva clocked 53.55 seconds, smashing the world record set by American Marla Runyan back in 1995. The time was also almost two and a half seconds inside her personal best.

Azerbaijan's Lamiya Valiyeva took the silver in 55.09, with Portugal's Caroline Duarte third in 55.52.

Yesterday, Iran won the sitting volleyball men's team gold medal, beating Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final.

On night 10 in Paris, the United States wrapped up the women's title, beating China for the gold medal.

The Americans took the lead, winning the opening set 25-21, before China hit back to level the match, taking the second set 25-23.

That was as close as it got, however, as the United States finished off the final 25-20, 25-22 to close it out after one hour and 32 minutes on court.

The women's title has never been won at a Paralympics by a country other than these two. China won the first three events in Athens, Beijing and London, and now the US has won three straight titles.

Earlier, Canada beat Brazil in straight sets, 3-0, to clinch the bronze medal.

There was drama at the Stade de France on night 10, with the running of the women's 100m T63 final.

In a strong field, the world record holder, Italy's Ambra Sabatini was racing in lane six.

Sabatini got off to a slow start, and Indonesian sprinter Karisma Tiarani was leading into the closing stages, but the Italian began to close in.

Sabatini passed Tiarani with 20m to go and looked set to take gold, but then she lost her balance and fell sidewards to the track.

In the process, Sabatini fell into lane seven, where her teammate Monica Contrafatto was. The pair collided with Contrafatto crashing to the track as well.

Another Italian, Martina Caironi, came through to take gold in 14.16 seconds, ahead of Tiarani (14.26), with Great Britain's Ndidikama Okoh third in 14.59.

Officials awarded Contrafatto a bronze medal as well, as she would have finished third if not for the collision. 

“I am in shock. I don’t know what happened. I was close to the finish line. I was feeling 100 per cent. I saw the finish line and I was about to touch it," Sabatini said afterwards.

“Before the start, I had a problem during the warm-up. The valve of my prosthesis was not working, the air was getting out. I panicked. We repaired it with silicon, it went all good.”

"Martina (Caironi) was amazing and I am happy for her. I am happy that she was the one to do the feat, at least.

"Unfortunately, I hurt Monica (Contrafatto) because she fell too. I would not want this to be the end. I will have to face this too. I have faced so many things (in life).

"It was a hard year. I tried hard. I am still in shock."

What a finish in the men's gold medal game at the Bercy Arena!

The United States were apparently cruising to victory in the final quarter, up by as many as 12 points, but Great Britain refused to go quietly.

They started to narrow the gap, and then key American shooter Steve Serio (24 points) fouled out with a couple of minutes left.

Led by Lee Manning (21 points) and Philip Pratt (17), the British kept going for their shots.   

Terry Bywater kept British hopes alive, banking a huge three-point shot off the glass with 14 seconds left.

But they ran out of time and were forced to foul, and one free throw made the difference, making the margin four points.

One last shot banged off the rim, and the clock ran out, triggering huge celebrations from the US, who have now won the gold medal at three straight Paralympics.

Speaking of amazing Paralympic swimming performances, let's also congratulate American Jessica Long, who won the women's 100m butterfly S8 final on night 10.

This was her fourth win in the event, after victories in Beijing, London and Tokyo. Long also won the women's 400m freestyle S8 final earlier in the Games.

More to the point, it was her 18th career Paralympic gold medal from six Games. Long, who was born in Siberia with underdeveloped fibula bones in both her legs.

She was adopted at 13 months old and moved to America, where she later had both legs amputated. Long took up swimming as a 10-year-old, and two years later she made her Paralympic debut in Athens.

Since then she has been one of the most famous Paralympians of all time.

Long now has 31 medals across six Games making her the second most successful American Paralympian in history. The legendary Trischa Zorn leads with 55 medals including 41 gold.
