Poppy Maskill and Rhys Darbey both landed individual medley silvers while Alice Tai also added a silver to her collection in the swimming at the Paris Paralympics.

Maskill claimed her fourth medal of the Games with silver in the SM14 200m medley final behind Neutral Paralympic Athlete Valeriia Shabalina.

It follows her butterfly and freestyle relay golds and individual freestyle silver.

The 19-year-old from Cheshire led at halfway but Shabalina overtook her in the second half of the race to retain the title she won while representing Russia at the Tokyo Games.

Darbey, 17, who was also part of the victorious medley relay team on Sunday, put in a strong finish to edge out Australian Ricky Beter for silver in the men’s SM14 medley.

Tai, 25, won S8 400m freestyle silver behind American legend Jessica Long to add to her backstroke gold and medley bronze.
