#JonniePeacock and #LibbyClegg lead seven-gold charge for #ParalympicsGB On a blistering day of success for ParalympicsGB, which featured no fewer than seven golds, some of them won in front of a modest but raucous crowd at the Olympic Stadium, they served to transform the mood after the cloud of suspicion which had hung over Libby Clegg, who had to deny that she cheated on her way to victory in the T11 100m final. But then, one by one, the golds kept coming – three in nine minutes at one stage – including for the British sprinters. The deluge began when Georgina Hermitage set a world record with a time of 13.13sec in the T37 100m, featured a maiden victory for Sophie Hahn in the T38 100m and ended with Jonnie Peacock making a triumphant defence of his T11 100m title with a Paralympic record of 10.81sec. In the swimming pool, Ellie Robinson, who is 15, won the 50m butterfly S6 in a record 35.58sec and Steph Slater won silver in the 100m butterfly S8. At the velodrome, Sophie Thornhill set a record and Jody Cundy also won gold.
