On the first gold medal day of table tennis on Saturday, China's Feng Panfeng and Liu Jing beat their opponents 3-2 and 3-1 respectively to win gold medals in the class 3 men's singles and class 1-2 women's singles.

"I thought about it before the match - what a great achievement it would be to win four consecutive golds. At 2-0 I also thought about it. After that, I didn't dare think. I was scared of losing," Feng said on winning four successive Paralympic men's singles golds.

Also on Saturday, Chen Minyi and Zhang Tianxin beat the Czech Republic team in the W1 mixed archery final to win China's first gold medal in the sport, while powerlifter Tan Yujiao clinched gold in the women's 67kg category final.
