Olivia Breen claims long jump gold on day four in London

Olivia Breen claimed Great Britain's ninth gold medal of the World Para Athletics Championships on Monday's fourth day of competition at the London Stadium.

Breen, 21 later this month, won with a personal best of 4.81 metres in the T38 long jump.

The gold and silver medallists from Rio were absent, but Breen's leap would have been good enough for Paralympic gold last September.

She finished 12th in the Paralympic final, but has made vast improvement since.

Breen has been a world champion before, but this was her first as an individual after her relay success in Doha two years ago.

She put together an impressive series, which included two fouls.

She took the first-round lead with a jump of 4.61 and a personal best of 4.72 in the third round was followed by her fourth-round leap of 4.81.

Victory was assured before the final round, where she leapt 4.75m.

Breen contemplated quitting after Rio, where she also missed out on selection for the sprint relay.

But moving to Loughborough, where she trains with T44 long jump world champion Stef Reid under Aston Moore, has seen her make remarkable progress.
