Hamilton sprinter Danielle Aitchison has picked up her second silver medal of the Paris Paralympics.
The 23-year-old recorded a time of 13.43 seconds to finish behind Yiting Shi of China in the women's 100m T36.
It was the same finishing order as the 200m earlier in the programme.
"I just wanted to go out there and have fun no matter the outcome," Aitchison said afterwards.
"I wasn't particularly happy with the 200. Out there I loved the challenge with Yiting Shi next to me, pushing each other along. I'm really happy with how the race went.
"It is so special to have my family in the crowd. It is so different from Tokyo. It is so great to have them come over to Paris and celebrate with me and enjoy the experience.
"I'm really excited to get back into training in a couple of months, I know I can push myself and get that gold medal in LA."
Aitchison went one better than at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games where she won bronze in the same event.
At this years Para Athletics World Championships she claimed a silver medal in 13.48 seconds, finishing 0.13 behind Yiting Shi who set a world record.
Aitchison was born with cerebral palsy and has a hearing impairment.
Earlier Holly Robinson picked up a bronze medal in the women's shot put F46.
Robinson's medal-winning throw of 11.88 metres came on her final of six attempts in the F46 shot put final at Stade de France.
New Zealand has seven medals, four silver and three bronze.
