• Parker adds silver in H1-3 individual time trial to triathlon gold
• She was just 9.5 seconds behind American winner Katerina Brim

Lauren Parker is basking in the glory of becoming Australia's first dual-sport Paralympic medallist in 44 years after claiming silver in the women's H1-3 individual time trial to add to her triathlon gold.

After finishing first in the para-triathlon on Monday, Parker was facing a lofty task to match a feat last achieved by Eric Russell, who won a gold (shot put) and two bronzes (discus and pentathlon) in 1980.
