Three world records in the field were among the highlights on the penultimate day of competition at the World Para Athletics Championships in Paris, France.

The first world record of the day at the Charlety Stadium came in the women’s T47 long jump final, as Ecuador’s Kiara Rodriguez claimed victory with a jump of 6.23 metres.

Silver went to New Zealand’s Anna Grimaldi with 5.96m, with the podium completed by Taleah Williams of the United States who claimed bronze with a jump of 5.65m.

The first of two shot put world records went to Iranian Yasin Khosravi who took the gold with a throw of 16.01m in the men's F57 category.

Khosravi threw almost a metre further than the silver medallist Thiago Paulino of Brazil, who recorded 15.09m, with bronze going to Teijo Koopikka of Finland in 14.80m.

The day’s third world record went to Colombian Jose Gregorio Lemos, who took the men’s shot put F38 title with a throw of 18.26.

Silver went to Britain’s Michael Jenkins with 17.14m, with bronze going to Faisal Sorour of Kuwait with a throw of 17.01m.

The final race of the day, the universal 4x100 metres relay, saw a disqualification for Canada, who were first across the line initially, because T13 wheelchair racer Austin Smeenk left his box early.

As a result, Japan’s team of Tomoki Ikoma, Yuyu Sambongi, Uran Sawada and Yuka Takamatsu were awarded the gold medals in a time of 47.96.

Silver went to Britain in 48.07, with the remaining team in the race Brazil taking bronze in 48.25.

Elsewhere the men’s T35 100 metres saw a one-two for Ukraine, with gold going to defending champion Ihor Tsvietov in a season’s best of 11.78 seconds.

Silver went to his compatriot Ivan Tetiukhin in 12.50, with the podium completed by Fabio Bordignon of Brazil in 12.59.

Meanwhile, Britain’s reigning Paralympic and world champion Hannah Cockroft secured a gold at a sixth successive World Championships, as she claimed the women’s 800m T34 title in a championship record of 1 minute 51.57 seconds.

Silver went to her teammate Kare Adenegan in 1:59.62, with bronze going to Eva Houston of the United States in 2:08.74.

A total of 26 gold medals are due to be won on the final day of competition tomorrow.
