The Acropolis is Athens best-known landmark and a new wheelchair lift is getting plenty of use thanks to the influx of visitors for the Paralympics.

The lift is an easy way for wheelchair users to view the ancient Greek masterpiece up close and personal.

But Jeff Adams, friend of the diary and who won bronze in the men's T54 400m is not going to try to take the easy way up to the top.

Adams, who is a pretty determined character at the best of times, will need all of his strength as he climbs the Acropolis on Tuesday morning in his wheelchair.

The event has been organised by the Canadian government in collaboration with the Greek authorities.

One of the best 'aah' moments of the Paralympics was played out in the media interview area after the T54 200m.

As she prepared to face yet another grilling after finishing fourth in the race, Tanni Grey Thompson's face lit up at the sight of her young daughter Carys coming down from the stand to see her mummy.

Even better, the two-and-a-half year old came armed with a large bag of crisps which she proceeded to hand to Tanni until she became bored with the game.

Tanni admitted before the Games that she felt this might be the first event that Carys would remember seeing her competing in.

By the time Beijing comes around, Carys will be six and in school, which will surely be another factor in whatever decision Tanni makes about her future.

The final day of the table tennis at the Galatsi Olympic Hall brought a noisy crowd from all over the world to support their teams.

Pride of place must go to the Korean supporters who came armed with what looked like large pencils, but which made a very loud drum-like noise when banged together in unison.

Two Korean teams were action at the same time on adjacent courts, leading to an almost constant stream of noise.
