Day three of the Rio Paralympics saw a number of successes for the Irish team. Greta Streimikyte ran a PB to finish fourth in the T13 1500 metres final. Nicole Turner qualified for the S6 50 metres freestyle and came in seventh overall, while Orla Comerford also qualified for her final in the T13 100 metres on the track. Rena McCarron-Rooney may have bowed out of the Table Tennis SF1-2 singles, but she did so at the quarter-final stage. Sean Baldwin was 33rd in the R3 Mixed 10m Rifle.
