Hi, I'm Naz with your Friday morning update, keep | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
watching for all of this: | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
Storming ahead, Para GB pass the 100 medal mark | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
on day eight of the games. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
And the moment the moon fell to earth. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
Well, sort of. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
But first to the Paralympics, where Para GB are still second | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
in the table with 108 medals. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
The team won five more golds on day eight, making 49 in total. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:39 | |
Here's a round-up of some of yesterday's best bits. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
It was a glittering day of gold and silver medals for Para GB. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Richard Whitehead claimed joint silver in the 100m, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
but it wasn't easy. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
After a slow start, a huge burst of speed and some determination | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
pushed him into medal position. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Multi-medal winner Kadeena Cox added a silver to her collection, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
leading out the sprint relay team with Maria Lyle, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
Georgina Hermitage and Sophie Hahn - the team just missing out to China. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
In the dressage, Natasha Baker - who's known as the Horse Whisperer - | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
got the gold with her horse, Cabral. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Gold too for Sophie Chistiansen. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
She's not only a multiple paralympic champion, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
but also has a first-class degree in maths, she may need it | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
to calculate her growing list of titles. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
And when it comes to numbers, they say age is just another. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
Well, Anne Dunham turns 68 this month and she won a silver. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:39 | |
Over on the waters of Rio, it was the first-ever time | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
para canoeing has been an event at the games, and Para GB | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
athletes took full advantage of the new sport. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
20 years ago, Jeanette Chippington won gold as a swimmer, but this time | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
it was gold in the canoeing after she came back | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
from retirement to compete. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Emma Wiggs is another who has switched sports - | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
competing in sitting volleyball four years ago, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
now a canoe gold medallist. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Anne Dickins was at those games in London too, as a volunteer. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
She confessed to suffering seasickness the first | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
time she got in a canoe, but she got over that | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
to storm through and win the race. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
Well, we've heard how many people watching the paralympics have been | 0:02:23 | 0:02:31 | |
But what is life like for children living with a disability in Brazil? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Martin's been to meet one 11-year-old boy in Rio to find out | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
what life is like for him. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
I've come to a poor neighbourhood in the north of Rio to meet | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
a pretty cool dude. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
As you can see, Davizinho doesn't let his disability hold him back. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:00 | |
Davi was born without fully formed arms and legs, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
which can make everyday life difficult for him. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
TRANSLATION: My aunt gave me a skateboard for Easter | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
when I was smaller to make it easier for me to get around. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
So I kept training with this small, plastic skateboard, just help me. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:22 | |
Eventually, my mum bought me a wooden skateboard, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
to come here to the park to start to learn how to do it properly. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
It was a cool experience, since then, I've been | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
coming here to play. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
Transport is very difficult around the city. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Things need to be more accessible. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
The buses should be better for wheelchair users. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
And there should be more ramps everywhere. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
I'd also like cars to be more accessible too. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
How do you feel about the Paralympics being | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
in the city of Rio? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
The Paralympic Games are very important to me, I really like it. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
It's encouraged me to do more sports. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Each day I watch one more sport, as it encourages me more, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
it gives me more hope. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
It was in another city, I wouldn't be watching with the same | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
emotion that it am here in Rio. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
What message would you give to young people like | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
yourself have a disability? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
Whenever you see a barrier or some difficulty, have faith, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:37 | |
and always keep your head up. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Don't let anything get you down. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Remember these three magic words - faith, determination, willpower - | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
and you'll go far and get your prize. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Now to a moon landing with a difference, check this out - | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
a huge moon-shaped balloon is causing chaos rolling | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
around Southern China. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
It's been blowing across the motorways and rolling | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
over cars and people. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
The huge balloon was part of the annual Moon Festival - | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
that's until it blew off in the strong winds. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
And finally - have you ever lost something and then | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
months later found it? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Well, I reckon this one may beat even the luckiest of finds. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
This woman lost her wedding ring almost 40 years ago in Spain whilst | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
she was swimming, and you'll never guess what - a diver has | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
only gone and found it! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
The couple say they're really happy and just can't believe it! | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
