Great Britain take to the court in the high-octane bumper-car race that is wheelchair rugby, aka “murderball”. Britain has never won a medal, but captain Steve Brown and top scorer Aaron Phipps aim to put that right. Shame their first match is against reigning champions the USA.
Also facing the USA will be Britain’s 7-a-side football team (made up of athletes with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions), in their final group game. Team GB will be hoping to repeat the 7-0 romp the last time the teams met.
