Paralympian Alldis heads for home

Team GB at the Paralympics

Suffolk wheelchair athlete Brian Alldis struggled in the Beijing heat on the final day of the Paralympics, in the T64 men's marathon.

The 22-year-old from Bury St Edmunds finished 34th despite starting well.

Earlier in the competition in China, he had to withdraw from his favoured 5,000m event following a problem with his right glove.

He told BBC Sport: "I really wanted to make finals but I'm glad I came. The experience has been fantastic."
