Sammi Kinghorn made it four medals from four events at the Paralympics on Thursday night and credited her success in Paris to “making sure that I was the happiest person” as she prepared to take on the world.
The fastest British woman ever to race in a wheelchair, Kinghorn has competed at three Paralympics but this has been her breakthrough summer. Her fourth medal, a third silver, came here in the T53 400m, just a day after winning gold and setting a Paralympic record in the 100m. She was joined in track and field success by Dan Pembroke, who retained his F13 javelin title with a world record throw of 74.49m.
