Plymouth swimmer Reece Dunn has smashed his own world record at the Tokyo Paralympics.

The 25-year-old finished in first place, securing a gold in the men's 200m freestyle S14 race.

Reece has already claimed a silver medal in the men's 100m butterfly S14 race on day one of the games.

Speaking after the victory, Reece said: “After the 100 fly on Wednesday I was more motivated. I had to go out strong towards the 150m.

“I felt great, the whole swim felt great, and then the pain came on the last half a length and I just had to hang on".
