Dan Pembroke, Bethany Firth and Ben Watson win golds for Great Britain at Tokyo Paralympics
Pembroke, who has a degenerative sight condition and competed in non-disabled events before switching to Para-sport, threw 69.52m in the F13 final. Swimmer Bethany Firth and cyclists Sarah Storey and Ben Watson also triumphed as GB stayed ahead of the Russian Paralympic Committee in second place behind China in the medal table.
Firth won her third consecutive S14 100m backstrokes Paralympic title with a dominant display. The 25-year-old led from start to finish to beat Russian rival Valeriia Shabalina by 0.93 seconds for her sixth gold overall and the fourth medal of these Games.
Team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate battled superbly for bronze - her third Tokyo medal. Firth, from Northern Ireland, had won the title in London in 2012 while representing Ireland but switched to represent GB in 2013 and went on to retain her crown in Rio.
Her triumph followed earlier success for Watson, who won his second gold in Tokyo with a brilliant victory over team-mate Fin Graham in the men's C1-3 road race. On a day when Storey won a historic 17th gold medal at the Fuji Speedway ahead of team-mate Crystal Lane-Wright, the 32-year-old debutant completed a double, having won the time trial on Tuesday.
Wheelchair racer Sammi Kinghorn followed her T53 100m bronze with silver in the T53 400m while swimmer Reece Dunn claimed his fifth medal of the Games with bronze in the S14 100m backstrokes. But five-time gold medallist Ellie Simmonds could only finish fifth in the S6 400m freestyle in what is set to be her Paralympic swansong.
And discus thrower Dan Greaves dealt with dreadful weather conditions to become the first British track and field athlete to win medals at six consecutive Games. Greaves, 38, who made his debut in Sydney 2000, won bronze in the F64 event with the best effort of 53.56m in torrential rain. After failing to qualify for the semi-finals of the women's T11 200m, double Paralympic champion Libby Clegg has announced her retirement from the sport.
The 31-year-old won T11 100m and 200m gold in Rio 2016, taking silvers at Beijing 2008 and London 2012. She is still due to compete in the universal relay on Friday. Wheelchair tennis pair Jordanne Whiley and Lucy Shuker are into their first Paralympic final after defeating China's Ziying Wang and Zhenzhen Zhu in the women's doubles semi-finals 6-4 6-2.
They will face Dutch top seeds Diede de Groot and Aniek van Koot for gold.Whiley had earlier lost 6-4 6-2 to De Groot in the women's singles semi-finals and will play Van Koot for bronze. Gordon Reid failed to retain his men's singles title as he was beaten 6-3 6-2 by top seed and home favourite Shingo Kunieda in the semi-final, while Alfie Hewett lost out to Dutchman Tom Egberink 6-4 7-6 (7-5).
It means the British pair will play off for bronze on Saturday. Meanwhile, Belgian wheelchair tennis player Joachim Gerard, the world number three, was taken to hospital after suddenly feeling faint.
A statement from the Belgian Paralympic Committee said: "First research is pointing towards a cardiac issue. Gerard will stay in hospital for further observation." On Monday, the 32-year-old was beaten in the third round of the men's singles and the quarter-final of the men's doubles.
