Jonnie Peacock has sprinted to victory in the T44 100 metres at the World Para Athletics Championships, regaining the world title he won in 2013.

The 24-year-old clocked 10.75 seconds, with double amputee Johannes Floors of Germany second in 10.89 seconds and Jarryd Wallace of the United States third in 10.89 seconds at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

The sprinter had previously won golds in the T44 100m at both the London and Rio Olympics.

Peacock's medal is the eighth gold for Great Britain at the games, with Aled Davies opening Sunday's competition with success in the F42 discuss.
