Registe sixth in Paralympics swimming final
Deaten Registe from Dungannon in Northern Ireland has finished sixth in the men's SB14 100m breaststroke final at the Paralympics in Paris.
The Team Ireland swimmer recorded a time of 1:07.82 in the final, almost a second better than the 1:08.49 he set in finishing fourth in his heat to progress as the eighth fastest qualifier on his Games debut.
The 20-year-old is building on his first major international performance at the 2024 Para Swimming European Championships in Madeira where he placed fourth in the same event.
In the paratriathlon PTVI3 category, held on Monday, Claudy's Chloe MacCombe and guide Catherine Sands finished sixth while her twin sister Judith and guide Eimear Nicholls came in eighth.
Chloe's time was 1:08.12, with Judith finishing in 1:08.44.
Both are members of the North West Triathlon Club and were making their Paralympic bows.
Chloe was a silver medallist at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.
Meanwhile Lisburn's David Ross and the GB wheelchair rugby team have missed out on a medal, losing 50-48 to Australia in the bronze medal match.
