Tokyo Paralympics: Scotland take medal haul to 20 with gold & four silvers on day 10

Scotland's Tokyo Paralympics medal haul has risen to 20 - the highest since Sydney 2000 - after adding a gold and four silvers on day 10.

Owen Miller took the T20 1500m title, while defending champions Gordon Reid and partner Alfie Hewett lost the wheelchair tennis doubles final.

There were also silvers for Libby Clegg in the universal relay, her swimmer brother Stephen Clegg in the S12 100m butterfly final, and tandem pair Sophie Unwin and Scottish pilot Jenny Holl in the women's B road race.

It tops Scotland's total of 17 medals at Rio 2016, with the 31 won in Sydney the benchmark.

Miller, 29, says his race "went exactly the way I wanted" as he secured gold with a brilliant final lap in his debut Paralympics.

"I timed it right and knew I could do it," he said. "I went for it and knew nobody was going to catch me."

Miller, who has an intellectual impairment, came from fifth place with 400m to go and overtook Russian Alexander Rabotnitskii on the last bend before sprinting home to clock three minutes 54.57 seconds.

"I gave it my all," he said. "I could never really imagine I'd be a Paralympic gold medallist when I took up the sport, but I am today."

Stephen Clegg, the world record holder, had already won two bronze medals and agonisingly finished just 0.06 seconds behind Raman Salei of Azerbaijan to miss out on swimming gold.

"I'm going to be lying if I say I'm not gutted with that performance today," he said after clocking 57.87 seconds. "I definitely had a different colour in mind coming into this."

Libby Clegg had announced the previous day that the universal relay would be her final event before retirement.

She and guide Chris Clarke bowed out with a silver - with Jonnie Peacock, Ali Smith and Nathan Maguire completing the relay team - after their bronze was upgraded following China's disqualification for an infringement during a changeover.

"This is my proudest Paralympic moment right now, I am so happy to have this as my last race," Clegg told Channel Four.

Unwin and Holl beat Sweden's Louise Jannering and Anna Svaerdstroem in a sprint for silver after Ireland's Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal made a late charge for gold.

Reigning champion Reid, who faces partner Hewett in the bronze medal match in the singles, was a final-set tie breaker away from retaining the doubles title.

However, French duo Stephane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer took gold with a 7-5 0-6 6-6 (4-1) victory.
