The Paralympics are underway, Sam looks at the results so far from New Zealand's team of 29 athletes.

Swimmer Sophie Pascoe has already added a silver medal to her previous career haul of 16 paralympic medals.

Also competing in shot put and discus is Lisa Adams, sister of Dame Val and Anna Grimaldi in the Long jump, who shocked the world with gold in Rio.
