Sabrina Fortune threw a huge new world record as she won gold in the women’s shot put F20 at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi.<\/b><\/p>\n
Fortune, 28, now has four world titles to her name as well as Paralympic gold from Paris 2024.<\/p>\n
Fortune set a world record in Paris of 15.12m, before extending it to 15.75m in Birmingham last month.<\/p>\n
She smashed that in India with a huge first throw of 16.75m, winning gold by nearly three metres.<\/p>\n
She told BBC Sport: “After the first throw that was loads of fun!<\/p>\n
“I wasn’t expecting that much, we were hoping for around 16m. I wanted another world record but it’s never guaranteed.<\/p>\n
“I have a learning disability and it takes me a long time to learn new things, there are days when I can’t focus, my brain is turned off.<\/p>\n
“But India has been amazing, I am learning the culture and the language.”<\/p>\n
Melanie Woods also won her first global medal with bronze in the women’s 800m T54.<\/p>\n
She said: “I am super proud. I have raced well this season and was confident of a medal, I see these girls as beatable now.”<\/p>\n
Scot Woods is also competing in the 400m and 1500m this week. <\/p>\n
Entry is free throughout the championships, which started on Saturday and run until Sunday, 5 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
