Orla Comerford delivered a stunning run to claim gold in the T13 100m final at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi on Sunday.

The Raheny Shamrock sprinter was dominant from gun to line with a time of 11.88 seconds, just shy of her 11.87 personal best but still a new championship record.

Rayane Soares da Silva of Brazil finished second in 12.07 and America’s Kym Crosby took third in 12.41.

Comerford adds the World Championships title to the bronze medal she claimed in the event at the Paralympic Games in Paris last year.
