World Para Athletics Championships: Hannah Cockroft wins 17th world title


Hannah Cockroft claimed a 17th world title as Great Britain won gold and silver in the T34 400m at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Dehli.

The 33-year-old nine-time Paralympic champion stormed to victory in a championship record time of 55.62 seconds to claim her 29th major title.

Training partner Kare Adenegan won silver, more than seven seconds behind Cockroft.

GB team-mate Fabienne Andre comfortably finished third, ahead of Australian Coco Espie, but no bronze medal was awarded because there were only four athletes in the field.
