This is the finish of the men's 400 metre freestyle S7 race. Josef Craig of Great Britain who has cerebral palsy has just finished first; a single red lamp has lit up on his starting block to show this. The second and third swimmers will get two and three lamps lit. Like all GB swimmers he wears a red swimming cap - this makes them easy for spectators to spot.
