Great Britain's Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock raced to victory in
the much-anticipated 100m T44 sprint showdown on day four of the 2013
IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon, France.
Despite a poor start, the 20-year-old managed to stay just ahead of
American Richard Browne, who set a new world record in qualifying the
day prior.
Peacock crossed the line in 10.99, a new championship record, whilst
Browne, just 0.02 seconds behind, took silver. Bronze went to 2011
world champion Jerome Singleton.
