Meanwhile, GB's Ola Abidogun exploded onto the global scene with an extraordinary Paralympic World Cup debut, winning gold in the men's T46 200m before claiming silver in the 100m after a photo finish. 

Elsewhere, Katrina Hart claimed gold and silver in the T36 100 and 200m respectively, Sally Brown continued her rapid rise to stardom by winning bronze in the T46 100m along with a silver in the 200m, while Libby Clegg put in a couple of good performances in the T12 sprint events, earning herself silver and bronze in the 200m and 100m respectively.
