Having claimed gold in the 800m T38 last Saturday (October 24), McKillop completed a unique triple double, sprinting home in a time of 4 min 16.19sec ahead of Australia’s Brad Scott and Algeria’s Madjid Djemai, second and third respectively.

McKillop's winning time was well outside his world record of 3:59.54, but the medals came at the end of what has been an injury-hit season.

"It’s been a long hard year, so to leave the Middle East with gold medals is amazing," said the 25-year-old.

"It was a tough race, but when you have determination to conquer like me, then you can do anything."

Elsewhere on the penultimate day of action, Italy’s Martina Caironi smashed her own 24-hour-old world record to win 100m T42 gold.

The 26-year-old Italian ran 15.01 in yesterday’s heats, but went even faster in the final, powering home in 14.61.

Germany’s Vanessa Low, the long jump gold medallist, took silver with a personal best and Brazil’s Ana Claudia Silva claimed bronze.

"This is my personal answer back to Vanessa Low after stealing my gold medal in the long jump a few days ago," said Caironi, a silver medallist in that event.

"I’ve now got two world records in two days, which was my goal this year.

"I’m totally happy and satisfied.

"Now I can relax in the knowledge of my place in the Rio Paralympic Games being secured, and overall it’s a beautiful day for me."

Cape Verde and Uzbekistan claimed their first-ever world titles thanks to Marcio Miguel Da Costa Fernandes and Khusniddin Norbekov respectively.

Fernandes won the men’s javelin F44 with an African record of 56.24m, while an Oceania record of 55.80m secured New Zealand’s Rory McSweeney silver and a Championship record of 55.18m for Iceland’s F42 thrower Helgi Sveinsson saw him pick up bronze.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Akeem Stewart finished fourth and set a new F43 world record of 54.77m. 

Norbekov's throw of 53.81m was enough for gold in the men’s discus F37 as the shot put bronze medallist beat Australia’s Guy Henly into silver and Ukraine’s Mykola Zhabnyak into bronze.

In addition to the performances of Caironi and Stewart’s , Poland’s Maciej Lepiato and Croatia’s Mikela Ristoski also rewrote the record brooks.

Lepiato secured his third successive world title, adding a centimetre to his previous best in the men’s high jump T44 by clearing 2.18m, with Great Britain’s Broom-Edwards and the United States’ Jeff Skiba joining him on the podium.

A final round leap of 11.67m by Ristoski added 25cm to the 13-year-old women’s triple jump T20 world record, securing Croatia their second gold at the Championships as Portuguese pair Erica Gomes and Ana Felipe won silver and bronze respectively.

After adding three more gold medals today, Tunisia now have 10 titles, two more than their previous best at a World Championships.

Somaya Bousaid led from start to finish to win the women’s 1500m T13 in 4:33.51 with Russia’s Elena Pautova taking silver and Chile’s Margarita Faundez bronze.

A Championship record of 4:09.92 by compatriot Abbes Saidi won him a closely fought gold in the men’s 1500m T38 as silver and bronze went to France’s Louis Radius, who ran a European record of 4:10.17, and Australia’s Deon Kenzie.

Tunisia’s hat-trick of golds was completed through Maroua Ibrahmi, who followed up club success by registering a winning throw of 6.18m in the women’s shot put F32, finishing ahead of Algeria’s Mounia Gasmi and Australia’s Louise Ellery in second and third respectively.

The first gold medal of the day was taken by America's Deja Young, winner of the the women’s 100m T47 in 12.69, while Brazil’s Odair Santos bounced back from collapsing when closing in on 5,000m gold to win the men’s 1500m T11.

Poland’s Barbara Niewiedzial became only the sixth athlete at the Championships to complete a hat-trick of world titles, triumphing in the women’s 400m T20 in 57.58 to add to her 800m and 1500m crowns.

Brazil’s Renata Bazone Teixeira was awarded gold in the women’s 800m T11 after Colombia’s Maritza Arango Buitrago, who crossed the line first, was disqualified, while Daisuke Nakagawa became Japan’s first track gold medallist at Doha 2015 with a time of 15:50.99 in the men’s 5,000m T20 race

A second round leap of 14.16m was good enough for Portugal’s Lenine Cunha to claim his country’s second gold of Doha 2015 in the men’s triple jump T20, and Garrah Tnaiash set an Asian record of 10.66m in the third round of the men’s shot put F40 to win Iraq’s first gold of the Championships.
