Britain gained a one-two in the T34 women’s 100m as they enjoyed another successful day at the World Para Athletics European Championships in Berlin.

In the T37 200m, Britain’s Rhys Jones looked a likely winner as he came into the straight but he was run down by Poland’s Michal Kotkowski’s 24.10. Jones dropped to fourth in the closing stages in 24.88.

Michal Derus was a clear winner of the T47 100m to give Poland another gold in a championships best 10.77. James Arnott missed out on a medal by one hundredth of a second in running 11.37 in fourth.
