Sport in Short: Paralympics

BRITAIN finished third in the medals table at the Paralympics in Barcelona - a repeat of their 1988 performance. Two more gold medals - from Mark Farnell and Steve Brunt in partially-sighted classes of the marathon - took the team's total to 40. The team finished behind the United and Germany. Tanni Grey, a 23-year-old politics graduate from Cardiff, was Britain's track athlete of the Games. She took four golds in the wheelchair 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m.
