Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock has said that his 100m victory at the Rio Paralympics tops his gold medal-winning display in London four years ago.
Peacock memorably stormed to glory on home soil in 2012, and successfully retained his title in Rio this evening with a convincing victory at the Olympic Stadium despite what was expected to be a competitive field.
The 23-year-old equalled his own Paralympic record in the final, and he believes that records will carry on being broken as the sport continues to grow.
"It's unbelievable. I've always said that nothing's ever going to top London as a personal achievement, but Rio as a sporting achievement is so much greater," he told reporters.
"The Paralympic movement as a whole is progressing so much. Part of me thinks that's what London 2012 did, how that shocked Paralympic sport through the roof.
"You see the repercussions here now. World records getting broken. Every four years Paralympic sport evolves and it gets bigger and better. It means so much to come here and four years later to still have this."
Peacock finished the race in 10.81s and was the only person to cross the line in less than 11 seconds.
