Sophie Wells from Lincoln has narrowly missed out on another medal at the Tokyo Paralympics in the dressage.

She came 4th in this morning's individual freestyle event.

However Sophie will still look back on a fairly successful games for her.

She picked up the silver in the individual test grade 5 last week and a gold as a member of the Great Britain team yesterday.

Sophie told us her expectations weren't that high as her usual horse C Fatal Attraction wasn't able to take part due to injury.

Instead Sophie rode Don Cara at the games.

He'd never been out of the country before so a trip to Tokyo was a new experience.

And whilst Sophie might not have won this morning a silver and a team gold isn't a bad return in the circumstances.
