Loughborough athletes also came agonisingly close to adding to the haul on another wet and windy night at the National Stadium.

Sport Scholar Zak Skinner was just two centimetres away from the podium in the men’s T13 long jump. Recording a best distance of 6.91m, the 22-year-old will feel hard done by not to medal at his debut Games.

On the track, Kadeena Cox came fourth in the final of the women’s 400m T38. Cox – trained by the University’s Joe McDonnell – was 1.16 seconds off the pace and sadly couldn’t add to her previously cycling gold medal.
