Table tennis ace Will Bayley claimed Great Britain's 24th gold of the Paralympics and first of day five, upsetting a partisan Brazilian crowd at Riocentro.

The 28-year-old from Tunbridge Wells triumphed 3-1 in the Class 7 singles final, beating Brazil's Israel Stroh.

Bayley won 11-9 5-11 11-9 11-4 before mounting the table to celebrate.

He was given a yellow card by an official before hugging her and being embraced by his coach after a stunning win.

Earlier, wheelchair racer David Weir's Paralympic-winning streak came to an end ina highly-competitive T54 400 metres final.

The 37-year-old from Wallington, Surrey won four gold medals from four events at London 2012, but finished fifth.

Fellow Briton Richard Chiassaro was fourth as Kenny van Weeghel of Holland took gold.

Bayley was bidding to upgrade the silver medal he won at London 2012 - which resulted in his friends decorating a post box with tin foil - at his third Paralympics.

The 28-year-old world champion was born with arthrogryposis, a rare congenital disorder that affected all four of his limbs.

He underwent numerous operations at Great Ormond Street Hospital from the age of three months old.

And he began playing table tennis after recovering from chemotherapy after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the age of seven.

Stroh, a journalist by trade who has cerebral palsy, won a group contest between the pair 3-1.

Bayley had a partisan crowd on his side four years ago, but this time it was Stroh who had the spectators' backing.

The Briton initially upset them, winning the first set 11-9, but Stroh responded in a quick-fire second, taking it 11-5.

Bayley had regular discussions with the officials throughout, although it was unclear what his complaint was.

With the crowd against Bayley and trying to unsettle him, Stroh stumbled early in the third set as the pair crossed paths going to speak to their coaches. It was accidental.

The moment seemed to galvanise Bayley, who took the third set to move within one of victory.

And Bayley dominated the final set to claim a sensational win.

The medals didn't stop there. Britain's 25th gold came at the Olympic Stadium as Aled Davies triumphed in the F42 shot put.

Davies, the London 2012 discus champion and shot put bronze medallist, triumphed with a Paralympic record throw of 15.97 metres.

The 25-year-old from Bridgend said: "This is the hardest thing I've ever done.

"I really had to fight for that and I didn't really throw as far as I could to do justice to the shape I'm in."
