Team GB's rowers win three Paralympics gold for the team four finals on day four in Rio.
Great Britain's rowers led the way on a golden start to day four at the Rio Paralympics .
Britain's rowers won three gold medals from four finals in a dominant performance - and Lora Turnham and her pilot Corrine Hall added another track cycling title.
Rachel Morris, who made the transition from cycling to rowing after London 2012, was Britain's first medal winner of day four.
The 37-year-old from Guildford won arms-shoulders single sculls, claiming Paralympic gold in a second sport eight years after cycling time-trial gold in Beijing.
Lauren Rowles and Laurence Whiteley triumphed in the double sculls event and the mixed coxed four team were victorious, too, taking Britain's tally to 18 gold medals.
Then Turnham and Hall claimed Britain's seventh gold at the velodrome with victory in the tandem three-kilometres pursuit. Sophie Thornhill and pilot Helen Scott took bronze.
Earlier, Lauren Steadman took PT4 triathlon silver at Copacabana beach and rower Tom Aggar arms-shoulders single sculls bronze at Lagoa.
The successes took ParalympicsGB's tally to 19 golds and 42 medals in all.
