Day 8 Preview: Britains medal haul to continue?

By Sam Tonks

Great Britain's golden touch returned last night inside London Stadium with Hannah Cockcroft and Georgina Hermitage capturing the headlines. Tonight the British steam-train can roll on with more medals on the line.

Paul Blake aims to avenge a bitterly disappointing 200m in the T36 400m. Paralympic champion in Rio, Blake has consecutive silvers in the last two world championships but will face a tough field tonight to claim gold.

Australian James Turner is a man on a mission. Setting back-to-back world records in the T36 200m on path to gold, this is part two of his dream treble, can he fend off Blake? (8:03pm)

Like Blake, Kadeena Cox hunts a gold medal tonight in the T38 400m (8:33pm). Taking bronze in the 200m behind fellow Brit Sophie Hahn, Cox is the world record holder and Paralympic champion at this distance, making her clear favourite.

Elsewhere, USA’s David Brown goes for a sprint double in the T11 200m. The 100m champion is the world and Paralympic champion as well as being the first blind athlete to run 100m under 11 seconds, expect a quick time!

A heavyweight showdown is ahead in the T51 100m. The reigning Paralympic champion Peter Genyn takes on the gold medalist from London 2012, Toni Piispanen.

Tunisia’s Walid Khatila heads into the T34 200m with the prospect of an unprecedented ‘double quadruple’. Winning the 100m, 400m and 800m in Championship record times, can he complete the set tonight?
