China's athletics team registered its first gold in track and field as Liu Cuiqing ran 56.25 seconds to defend her title with guide Xu Donglin in the T11 women's 400m, breaking the Paralympic record, while Liu Li dominated the F32 men's club throw with a world record of 45.39m.

"I'm very excited and surprised to win gold again. I would like to appreciate my country giving us the support to practice," said Liu Cuiqing.

"At Rio 2016 we broke the world record, but it was kind of expected because we were very well prepared. This time, [winning gold] was unexpected. We were injured for around one year, and we performed better than what we imagined. To win in Tokyo is a dream," said Xu.
