Cockroft, 31, further cemented her reputation as one of the all-time Para-athletics greats.<\/p>\n

Her title comes three weeks and five days before she is set to get married.<\/p>\n

“[My fiance’s] voice was the last one I heard,” she told Channel 4. “It means so much. He understands what goes into that performance.<\/p>\n

“I’ll go home, have an amazing wedding and have a great life.”<\/p>\n

With 16 world titles and the world record in 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m in her discipline, Cockroft was the overwhelming favourite at the Stade de France. <\/p>\n

She got off to a superb start in lane eight, quickly building a substantial lead, and time trialled her way to the line.<\/p>\n

She celebrated by ringing the bell at the side of the track nine times, one for each of her Paralympic medals, in front of a feverish support.<\/p>\n

“The atmosphere was amazing,” she added. “I could feel the noise following me around, it\u2019s like being back in London, I love it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
