Wheelchair athlete Tomoki Sato headlined the sixth day of the Rio 2016 Paralympics for Japan, finishing a close second in the men's T52 400-meter race on the Olympic Stadium athletics track on Tuesday.

After winning his heat on Monday, Paralympic debutant Sato pushed a 58.88-second race to finish 0.46 seconds behind gold medalist Raymond Martin of the United States in the event for athletes with single above-knee amputations, or an impairment that is similar.

At the Olympic Aquatics Stadium, Japan swam to a pair of bronze medals, one to Keiichi Kimura and the other to Takuro Yamada.
