Decorated swimmer Aurélie Rivard has captured Canada's first gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics.
Rivard, of St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que., repeated as champion in the women's S10 100-metre freestyle on Saturday.
She raced to the finish in a remarkable time of 58.14 seconds — breaking the world record for a second time that day.
"To have been able to come back from what happened on day one and to step up and swim the best that I could, win Canada's first gold — it makes it even more special and I really enjoy the moment," she said.
Swimmers from the Netherlands filled out the rest of the podium.
