British sprinter Jonnie Peacock shared bronze following an agonising wait for the outcome of a photo finish as he was denied a glorious hat-trick of Paralympic 100m titles in Tokyo.
Single-leg amputee Peacock powered over the line in a season’s best 10.79 seconds and could not be separated from Johannes Floors.
Floors’ fellow German Felix Strang claimed T64 gold in 10.76 secs, with Costa Rican Sherman Isidro Guity Guity just a fraction of a second behind to secure silver.
Peacock, who won gold in the T44 class in London and Rio, initially looked to have earned bronze outright but Floors was eventually placed alongside him, with both athletes clocked precisely at 10.786 secs.
Earlier, wheelchair racer Andrew Small, archer Phoebe Paterson Pine and equestrian rider Sir Lee Pearson claimed more gold for Great Britain.
Small held on for victory in the T33 100m final, while Paterson Pine took out the women’s individual compound open division at the archery range.
Small flew out of the blocks to set up a gap on the field, before defending champion Ahmad Almutairi of Kuwait started closing in on him late on.
What’s coming up?
Sarah Storey goes in search of a 16th Paralympic title in the time trial on Tuesday, shot putter Vanessa Wallace and long jumper Olivia Breen are also medal contenders.
