Hannah Cockcroft makes it 10 career world titles with victory in T34 400m

Great Britain's Hannah Cockroft claimed her 10th world title and Georgie Hermitage set a new world record at the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

Five-time Paralympic champion Cockroft won the women's T34 400m for her third title at the 2017 championships while Hermitage triumphed in the T37 400m in a world record time of one minute and 0.29 seconds.

Cockroft has already won the T34 100m - in a world record time - as well as the T34 800m and has never lost a race at a major championships.

"I'm feeling really emotional. I even had a little cry," Cockcroft said after the race

"I was confident until yesterday when I got full of cold. When I came to the start line I felt like I had nothing to put into the race.

"All the way round I was thinking 'I can hear the girls coming. I'm not going fast enough, I'm not going fast enough.' So to get that result when I was feeling like this is such a relief.

"This is my 10th world title but that hasn't really sunk in yet. I'm so used to taking each race as it comes. Every time I put on this top it's still a massive honour to come and represent Britain and British Athletics.

"But I'm not finished yet. I want to prove I can still go fast. I just want to keep going out there. I want to prove I can keep going a little while longer."

Great Britain's Kare Adenegan,16, also claimed bronze behind Cockroft in the T34 400m.

"This is a huge experience for me," she said. "I've learned so much about tactics, I just need to work on my strength and come back fitter and better. I can go home now and enjoy the school holidays and have a nice break."

Hermitage defended her world title after winning in Doha two years ago and added to her T37 100m Rio gold from last year's Paralympics.

She said: "It just shows that with the right training and support you can improve. I knew I had to go out hard and felt I did that. I was back on the track for my first race of the championships and I just went into autopilot.

"I've been under a lot of pressure as everyone has been coming back to the team and they've been doing so well. We've had lots of success and I just wanted to be part of that but I wasn't sure how it would go for me.

"The main feeling is relief but I also feel so happy to have won and can't believe it was in a world record time."
