- Great Britain’s Cockroft wins gold in Paralympic Games record
- Cockforft: ‘I was absolutely determined to win’
Great Britain’s Hannah Cockroft gave a demonstration of her supremacy in T34 class racing, as she won her second gold medal of Tokyo 2020, and her seventh at a Paralympic Games, in the 800m.
Depending on the angle you viewed the race from, it was possible to think that Cockroft was out on the track by herself, so great was the distance between her and the rest of the eight strong field. She won in a Paralympic record time and finished just shy of her own world record, despite sodden conditions in the Olympic Stadium.
