Georgie Hermitage broke her own world record to win gold in the T37 400m final at the IPC Athletics World Championships in Doha.
Hermitage, who had already won the 100m silver at these games, started strong and finished in 1min 2.01sec, beating the 1:02.48 she set in London in July.
“This is more than I could ever have dreamed of,” the Briton told BBC Sport. “I never thought I would get a world record. Today was all about getting around and trying to win gold and make the point there is more in me.”
Mo Jomni added to Team GB’s medal haul with a bronze in the T53 200m. “It’s always about the finals . You have to concentrate on the heats and, if you are lucky, you get through,” the 26-year-old said.
“The finals are where you have to put the work in. I always keep it realistic and results come through.”
