Tokyo, Japan - Team USA cruised back to the podium at the pool on Monday, collecting gold among more medals in record-breaking fashion at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games.

Mallory Weggemann (32) was back at the top of the podium with another gold medal, this time in the women’s 100-meter backstroke S7 final.

She blew away the competition to finish at 1:21.27, a new Paralympic record.

Canada's Danielle Dorris (1:21.91) touched the wall second for silver while Weggemann’s teammate Julia Gaffney (1:22.02), the world record holder in the event, finished in third place for the bronze medal. Another American swimming star, McKenzie Coan (1:23.10), just missed out on the podium, placing fourth.

Aussie swimmer Ellie Cole (1:13.15), the Paralympic record holder, just missed a spot on the podium, touching the wall fourth.

Anastasia Pagonis, one of the more popular swimmers in Tokyo, added to her medal collection on Monday by stopping an almost certain Chinese sweep in the women’s 200-meter individual medley S11 final.
