Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock is the T44 100m champion.

Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock has won gold in the T44 100m, beating a star-studded field in the final.

It was a nervy start as the athletes twice had to restart their preparations for green cards.

However, when they finally got going the 19-year-old enjoyed a fantastic start and never looked back on his way to setting a new Paralympic record of 10.90s.

Richard Browne of the United States took silver with a 11.03s and Arnu Fourie edged out Oscar 'Bladerunner' Pistorius to take bronze with 11.08s.
