00:00Massive day for the Australians in Paris overnight for day four of the Paralympics, starting
00:08first with our first ever para-rowing Paralympic gold medal, where Jed and Nikki crossed the
00:12line easily in the mixed skulls to take that one home. It is the first time that Australia
00:16has won a gold medal in the rowing, but it's also the first time that their division and
00:20their class of rowing has been at the Paralympics, so an amazing piece of history for them. Also
00:24in the rowing, Eric Horry got elevated into the third place position to get himself a
00:28bronze medal in the men's individual skulls after the Italian who crossed third got disqualified.
00:33He was using a communication device in his boat, which is not allowed, so out he went.
00:38Wasn't the only disqualification issues, though, that Australia faced, where in the pool, Ahmed
00:43Kelly was wrongly disqualified from his heat. It's okay, he challenged it. He was reinstated
00:47and went into the final for the 150 metre men's medley. Now, he came second, got himself
00:51a silver medal, amazing. Behind him was Paralympic sailor Grant Patterson in bronze. Really fantastic
00:57day at the pool. We got a few silvers, couple of bronzes, couple of bronzes over in the
01:00athletics and javelin and in the sprinting sessions as well, and of course, another one
01:04over at the velodrome. We've really been getting the medals this week. We'll see you again next time.
