Great Britain's Ben Quilter will contest for a bronze medal in the men's judo -60kg at the Paralympic Games.

The British competitor, who is the current world and European champion, overcame Mongolia's Aajim Munkhbat after a tense tussle between the pair in the repechage.

It took Quilter two minutes to grab the breakthrough and secure an ippon, which was eventually given after deliberations over whether the tackle was committed outside of the boundaries.

Quilter failed to reach the final after a disappointing defeat to reigning Paralympic champion Mouloud Noura earlier today.
