At the World Paralympics in New Delhi, Great Britain won gold and silver in the T34 400m, making Hannah Cockroft the 17th world champion.
The 33-year-old, nine-time Paralympic champion won her 29th major title in 55.62 seconds, breaking the championship record.
More than seven seconds behind Cockroft, training partner Kare Adenegan won silver.
Cockroft continued to win the title she last won in London in 2017 because the competition had not taken place at the previous three World Championships.
Thomas Young of Great Britain won the men’s T38 100m earlier, finishing only 0.28 seconds ahead of Jaydin Blackwell, who set the championship record, and Ryan Medrano, who is US team-mate.
