Britain’s Cockroft wins second gold at Worlds

Hannah Cockroft, a Brit, won the women’s T34 100m in New Delhi, earning her second gold medal at the World Paralympics and her 18th career title.

The Indian champion won her eighth consecutive title in the event in 17.28 seconds.

With a season-best time of 18.08, British team-mate Kare Adenegan won silver, while China’s Lan Hanyu took bronze.

“It’s nice to get titles, but I’d like to be moving a little quicker, if I’m honest,” Cockroft said.

“I want those world records, but I haven’t broken them in a while.”

Cockroft, 33, won the T34 400m gold medal and set a championship record, while Adenegan also won silver in the same event.

On Wednesday, Victoria Levitt won the T44 100m gold medal on her first international appearance in a time of 13.22, and Bebe Jackson won the bronze medal in 13.63.

Levitt, 29, will return to her role at a Mansfield Tesco store in the lead up to Christmas after working two jobs to support her athletics career.

Levitt, being honest, described it as a “complete shock.”

I was like, “Oh, does this mean I’m first when I crossed the line and I didn’t see anyone else?” “, and then the shock struck my face.

It will take some time for the sinking. I’m shocked, I can’t believe what I left with.

Melanie Woods of Great Britain won her second championship medal with a bronze medal in the women’s T54 1500m race in three minutes, 19.75 seconds.

The 31-year-old Scot won a medal at a global games on Monday, joining her for the first time in the T54 800m.

Before Zhou Zhaoqian of China, Swiss-based Catherine Debrunner, a five-time paralympic champion, won 1500m gold.

It’s intimidating to line up on the start line with world records holders, including Catherine, who can command such a fast pace and lead from the beginning, Woods said.

However, you must “hype yourself up” and give yourself the assurance you deserve to be the first to go.

With that, I couldn’t be happier. The week started off well, and to top it off is a bonus.
