T37 100m: 7th

Hart will be appearing in her second Games after a hamstring injury restricted to her to 7th in the T37 100m final. Since then she has consistently finished in the medal positions in major events, winning gold for England in the T37 100m and taking the T37 200m title at the 2011 World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand. Despite that victory, she will face tough competition from the current world no.1 Viktoriya Kravchenko of Ukraine. Hart, who has cerebral palsy, will also be competing in the 100m and the 4x100m relay.
