New Zealand swimmer, Sophie Pascoe, has collected her second gold medal at the London Paralympics in one of her favourite events - the 100 metres butterfly.

She beat her own world record from her heat earlier in the day.

It is the third medal for the Christchurch 19-year-old who has swum to gold in her 200 metre individual medley and silver in the 50 metres freestyle.

She won four medals in Beijing four years ago and has three more races to go.

Wellington's Mary Fisher – who has already picked up silver - has her 200 metre freestyle final in about half an hour.
