Paralympic champions compete at Anniversary Games
British Paralympic stars will re-visit the Olympic stadium this evening to compete in the IPC Paralympic Challenge, marking one year since the start of London 2012.
Team GB Paralympians triumph again
A host of British Paralympic stars took home wins again today as they competed in the International Para Challenge at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford. The event is part of the Anniversary Games celebrating one year since London 2012.
Among the victories for Team GB was Hannah Cockcroft's win in the women's T33/34 100m wheelchair sprint. She crossed the line in just 17.8 seconds, only slightly outside her own world record.
Other winners included Dan Greaves in the F42/44 discuss, and Richard Whitehead in the men's T42 200m sprint.
London's own Paralympic star David Weir is set to race shortly in the T54 Mile, the final event of the day.
