Davies added an impressive 4.55 metres on to the discus F42 mark he set himself at last year’s World Championships.

It follows his shot put gold earlier in the week and lays down the gauntlet to the rest of the world ahead of Rio 2016.

“I am absolutely delighted with that result," said the 25-year-old.

"To throw a personal best on the main stage is something every athlete wants to do.

“I was shocked more than anything when the distance came up on the screen.

"I’m ecstatic to perform like that on the European stage against some top guys in the world.”

He finished nine metres clear of Luxembourg’s silver medallist Tom Habscheid, who managed 45.41m.

Serbia’s world and Paralympic champion Dimitrijevic also underlined why he remains the man to beat in the men’s club throw F51 class.

He improved on his world record throw from London 2012 with a best of 27.04m.

The 45-year-old, who became the first Serbian male to win a gold medal at a Paralympic Games in Lonon, extended his world best by 16 centimetres as Czech Republic's Radim Beles won silver with 24.32m.

“I feel very happy of course to get a new world record," he said.

"I’m Paralympic champion, world champion, European champion, world record holder, I can’t ask for more actually."

Spain’s Xavier Porras leapt to a Championship Record 6.14m to win the men's T11 long jump.

Belgium’s Peter Genyn was the star performer on the track, breaking a 12-year-old world record in the men’s 400m T51 class.

The reigning world champion clocked 1:18.09, a huge 0.48 seconds quicker than the time set by Mexico’s Edgar Navarro Sanchez in 2004.
