Ben Rowlings: Bo'ness wheelchair athletics star contests T34 100m final at Paralympics
Rowlings took to Twitter afterwards to post: “The 100m is done, not quite where I’d like to have finished but 100m isn’t my event.
"Looking forward to the 800m heats on Friday. Thank you so much for all the supportive messages and to everyone who woke up at silly o’clock to cheer me on.”
