We hear how the partnership prepared for this games and what it means to her now that Team GB has qualified to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. With the driving marathon taking place today it was a great day’s sport and very hot conditions again as the jumpers had a day off. Irish journalist Louise Parkes joins Chris to discuss the jumping competition so far and share her thoughts on the final individual competition tomorrow with Germany’s Simone Blum leading the top 25 riders to battle it out for the medals with just one fence dividing the top group.
