    Paralympics 2024: Australia's Curtis McGrath wins fourth para canoe gold at Paris Games, James Turner wins men's 100m T36, as it happened

    Australia finishes the swimming and athletics programs at the Paris Paralympics with a string of medals, as Australian para-canoeist Curtis McGrath wins the kayak single 200 KL2 title for the third straight Games.


    Australia has enjoyed a successful day 10 of the Paris Paralympics, winning two gold medals.

    James Turner finished over the top of the field to take out the men's 100m T36 final in the para athletics.

    It was Turner's second gold in Paris following his victory in the men's 400m T36 event, and fourth of his career.

    Australia's Curtis McGrath made it a hat-trick of wins in the men's kayak single 200m KL2 event to collect his fourth Paralympic gold.

    In other events, Australian para canoeist Dylan Littlehales came away with silver in the men's kayak single 200m KL3.

    Australian para athlete Rheed McCracken won bronze in the men's 800m T34 by the barest of margins.

    Susan Seipel added a bronze to Australia's tally after reaching the podium in the women's va'a single 200m VL2.

    Australia will pick up another two bronze medals in para table tennis, despite Lina Lei (women's singles WS9) and Lin Ma (men's singles MS9) losing their respective semifinals.

    Both losing semifinalists are awarded bronze medals in para table tennis.

    Look back at how the events unfolded on day 10 in our blog.
