Winner of the javelin throw F44 title on Tuesday (July 18), he quickly made his presence known in the shot put competition with an opening effort of 18.34 metres.

The distance was considerably further than the previous record of 14.21m set by Germany’s Jorg Frischmann at the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta.

In the fourth round, Stewart improved his world record with a massive 19.08m.

"This was a dream come true," the 25-year-old said.

"I finally had an opportunity to do the shot put in a championships, so I’m really happy.

"The javelin is a hobby, but this is what I can do when I train for it.

"I wanted to break the world record to write my name in the record books, but I didn’t think I’d break it by so far.

"I had to settle for fifth in the discus but I’m going to come back and win that too."

Canada’s Brent Lakatos joined the exclusive club of athletes to win four individual titles at these Championships with victory in the men's 100 metres T53.

He crossed the line in 14.52sec with Bushell second in 14.85 and Thailand's Pongsakorn Paeyo third in 14.88. 

"I'm so happy to have got that fourth gold," Lakatos, the winner now of 11 world titles, said.

"It has been an amazing week and better than I expected.

"As soon as I walk into this Stadium with 20,000 people, I get a smile on my face.

"It's easy to get the energy up."

The one other world record to be broken today came in the men’s shot put F32 as Rio 2016 silver medallist Lahouari Bahlaz of Algeria recorded a mark of 11.08m.

There was a Championship record as well for Lithuania’s Mindaugas Bilius, who improved on his silver medals from the last two World Championships with gold in the men's shot put F37.

There was also controversy in the men’s 4x100m relay T42-47 with the US crossing the line first only to be disqualified later in the evening.
