Faye Rogers has won Paralympic gold in a thrilling S10 100m butterfly final, just pipping fellow Briton Callie-Ann Warrington.

Warrington led at halfway but Rogers, 21, fought past her to touch first in one minute 05.84 seconds.

It is a first Paralympic medal for both, with 24-year-old Warrington clocking 1:06.41.

Britain now have 14 swimming golds in Paris and 19 medals overall.

In 2021, Rogers competed at the Olympic trials but did not make the GB team for Tokyo.

That September, she was injured in a car accident which left her with permanent damage to her arm.

Rogers was initially told she would not be able to compete again but has since thrived in Para-swimming, winning World Championship gold at last year’s event in Manchester.
