Great Britain have won their first gold medals on day one of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

Track cyclist Sarah Storey cruised to victory in the women’s C5 individual pursuit, after breaking her own world record in Thursday’s heats.

In the pool, Jonathan Fox took gold in the men’s S7 100m backstroke but was unable to better his world record from earlier in the day.

Nyree Kindred and Hannah Russell also secured silvers in the Aquatics Centre.

Kindred came second in the final of the women’s S6 100m backstroke while 16-year-old Hannah Russell, making her debut at a Games, also took away a silver in the women’s S12 400m freestyle.
