"To be able to race against Faye is just everything. We have been saying to each other the last couple of months, 'come on, we can get the one-two'. On both occasions Debrunner set a Paralympic record to deny Kinghorn gold, and the Briton will once again come up against the triple Paralympic champion - chasing a fourth title in Paris - in the T53 100m final.
"I got a bit disorientated and stopped at 200m to go because I thought we were done - it’s so loud in here which we’re not used to. That noise is absolutely electric and I’m absolutely buzzing to come away with a medal."Piers Gilliver will also contest the men's epee category A, men's foil team and men's epee team events in Paris
"The competition days are always really tough and it's hard to process. Once the Games come to a close, you can look back and be proud of winning a medal."Baker took her impressive tally of Paralympic medals to nine in the individual grade III event at Chateau de Versailles.
