Wales' Paralympians prepare to touch down in UK

Wales' Paralympians are returning to the UK today after winning a record seven medals - including four golds - at Rio 2016.

That's two more than they achieved in London 2012.

Twenty-six Welsh athletes went to Brazil, making up 10% of the Great Britain team.

The Rio Games saw a new generation of Welsh Paralympians perform - some for the first time - including track and field bronze medallist Sabrina Fortune, and wheelchair basketballs's bronze medallist Phil Pratt.

Here's how Wales' Paralympians got on:

GOLD:

Aled Sion Davies - F42 Shot put

The 25 year-old from Bridgend broke the Paralympic record three times with a throw of 15.97 metres with his third throw.

Davies took bronze in the same event at the 2012 London Paralympics, where he also won gold in the F42 discus.

Hollie Arnold - F46 Javelin

22-year-old Hollie Arnold lives and trains in Cardiff. She threw a world record 43.01m to claim the Gold.

Rob Davies - Class 1 Table Tennis

32-year-old Rob Davies was born in Abergavenny. He broke his neck playing semi-professional in 2005, and now plays wheelchair table tennis with a bat strapped to his hand.

Davies beat South Korea's Joo Young Dae 3-1.

Rachel Morris - Rowing

Rachel took first place in the arms only single sculls, her third Paralympic medal, and second gold.

SILVER:

Jodie Grinham - Archery

Cardigan-born Jodie won silver with partner John Stubbs after losing to China in the final.

BRONZE

Phil Pratt - Wheelchair basketball

22-year-old Phil from Cardiff helped Paralympics GB beat Turkey 82-76 in the bronze medal match.

Sabrina Fortune - F20 Shot put

Flintshire's Fortune became the first Welsh athlete to win a Paralympic medal at Rio 2016.

The 19-year-old set an F20 shot put personal best of 12.94m to secure a medal.

The first flight will arrive at Heathrow at 9am on Tuesday, with the second flight arriving a few hours later.

A homecoming event has been organised for later this month.
