Scotland’s Shelby Watson set her second world record of the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA) World Games in Nottingham, becominge the first athlete in the T33 1500 metres event to go under the five-minute mark.

A time of 4min 55.85sec saw the teenager claim her fourth gold medal of the event, knocking nine seconds off the record, maintaining her excellent performance at the Games.

Elsewhere on the final day of athletics competitions, England's Amy Wareing added the discus title to her historic P38 class pentathlon gold she won yesterday with a throw of 24.25 metres.

Wareing was one of three Englishwomen to secure a discus crown as Anna Nicholson followed suit in the F35 classification, posting 21.89m, before Mary Wilson reigned supreme in the F36 event by registering 15.53m.

England were also dominant in the shot put events, William Baxter clinching his third gold in the F36 with a distance of 9.86m, while the F35 went to Ashley Breen, thanks to an effort of 8.03m, and Lee Cupit's 9.77m saw him win the F38.

Their results were part of a productive for the host country as they added 12 gold medals to their tally.

Fellow Englishman Tyrone Williams lost out in the F37 category by just seven centimetres as Austrian Michael Steiner topped the podium, much to the disappointment of the home crowd, with 9.95m.
