Tokyo Paralympics 2020 day five: triathlon, rowing, swimming, wheelchair rugby and more – live!

Long jump: Japan’s Sawada Uran improves on her mark, jumping 5.15m. Stays in fifth place but that’s her season best.

China is absolutely dominating, with a few that might not even have been added to our interactive yet. 30 gold and 77 total so far. Great Britain second with 17 gold and 46 total.

The plucky Aussies have slipped down to sixth behind I Can’t Believe It’s Not Russia, the USA and Ukraine.

Long jump: Anna Kaniuk runs right through the launching pad and across the sandbox without jumping. It does take her past the 8 metre mark but technically that’s not a legit result, Anna. Belarus will have to try again.

Long jump: Big effort from Zubkovska, a cheer upon standing, and… she’s jumped into the lead. That’s 5.54 metres, all of 6cm past Martinez. Can the Spaniard respond? Her third attempt, before Zubkovska’s jump, didn’t get near her second.

Wheelchair basketball: Not far into the third quarter, and Great Britain men lead Iran 33-44.

Archery: Lots of elimination matches happening in the archery, which I can’t describe to you because the broadcaster has not elected to broadcast it. Don’t know why that is, but all I can do from here is check the text results.

Boccia: Let a million flowers bloom, but instead of flowers they’re boccia games. So many happening at the moment. They’re held on indoor courts with coloured boules, so it doesn’t have the Italian-pensioner-village-square kind of vibe, but it’s still more chilled out than the other sports. As a player? Go for this ahead of the football.

Athletics: The T12 women’s long jump final is underway, second round of jumps happening now. Sara Martinez of Spain currently leads with 5.38m. Ukrainian Oksana Zubkovska holds the world record of 6.6 metres, but she set that nearly a decade ago, and her best today is well over a metre short of that.

Football: I’ve not had the experience of watching this kind of 5-a-side before, and let me tell you, it is absolutely brutal. Non-contact? Pfffft. They are belting into each other every other moment.

This is a visual impairment sport, so the players are blindfolded aside from the goalkeepers, who aren’t allowed to leave a tiny box in front of goal. There are bells in the ball, and the goalkeeper can call directions to the players, as can an assistant behind each team’s target goal, directing the shooting.

And there’s a fence all the way down the sidelines, which means that the ball doesn’t go out.

So it bounces around in the field, and players wearing shades go sprinting after it and bash one another out of the way. Then if someone has possession and is running forward, a defender will stand in their way and the two just iron one another out. And when the ball comes up against the side fence, one player might try to trap it there while an opponent or two comes up and barrages them to break the ball free.

Not for the faint-hearted. Most of the players have spent most of their time lying on the deck after being crunched.

Anyway. Japan just beat France 3-0.

Triathlon: Lauren Parker speaks after being caught just before the line, saying that she knew Gretsch was on the way.

“I gave it everything I could. I put my head down and went for it. I’m pretty proud of my efforts.”

Wheelchair basketball: A good start for the Great Britain men’s team against their old rivals Iran (I made that up), leading 19-24 in the second quarter. The Brits are currently second in their group behind their old rivals Australia (I made that up too).

After another early start for the para-triathletes, Kendall Gretsch of the US roared from behind to pip Australia’s Lauren Parker in a thrilling finish at the line of the women’s PTWC race at Odaiba Marine Park. It looked like Parker would secure another gold for Australia, but an unbelievable final effort saw Gretsch reel her in on the final sprint to cross the line first by the slightest of margins. Incredible scenes. Eva Maria Moral Pedrero of Spain took bronze. In the men’s race, Jetze Platz ofd the Netherlands won gold, ahead of Florian Brungraber of Austria and Giovani Achenza of Italy.

Both PTS5 races are under way.
