The 22-year-old from south Wales capped another memorable day following victories by cyclists Rachel Morris, David Stone and Sarah Storey, her fellow swimmer Sam Hynd and the boccia team, by claiming Britain's 33rd gold of the Games. Britain's medal total now stands at 69, with only hosts China ahead in the standings with 37 golds and 109 medals in all.

Johnson went one better than she did in Athens, winning the women's SB6 100metres breaststroke in one minute 41.87 seconds. It was her first event of the Games and came 10 days after her mother Bonnie, 53, died of cancer on the day the team arrived in Beijing from the holding camp in Macau.

Johnson, who has cerebral palsy, said: "I've been fine all week, but it's been hard watching from the stands.

"This (Friday) morning (for the heats) everybody let me get on with it, then this afternoon they were like 'Do it for your mum' and I was crying.

"I think she'll be happy."
