The 45-year-old from Broxburn, who was competing in his fifth Paralympics, won silver in the men's S2 50metres backstroke at the National Aquatics Center in one minute 04.33 seconds.

Dmitry Kokarev triumphed in a world-record time of 1min 03.17secs.

The 17-year-old Russian proved to be the Scot's nemesis after adding the backstroke to his 100m and 200m freestyle titles.

The duo were joined on the podium in each of the four finals by Greece's Georgios Kapellakis, who won the 50m freestyle.

Anderson finished the Games with two silvers and two bronze.

Robert Welbourn entered the men's S10 400m freestyle final as the fastest qualifier but Brazil's Andre Brasil won in a Paralympic record of 4:05.84.

Welbourn, from Market Deeping, Lincolnshire, finished 1.77secs behind to claim silver.

It was the 21-year-old's second medal of the Games after success in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay.
