Sprint star is out to repeat his 2012 glory in London

JONNIE PEACOCK goes back to where it all started this weekend – and warned he has plenty more left in the tank.

Peacock was catapulted into athletic superstardom when he won the T44 100m at the London Paralympics in 2012, and he repeated the feat in Rio last summer.

The 24-year-old from Cambridge, whose right leg was amputated below the knee when he was five after meningitis, has dominated his event since.

But the double gold medallist, who bids for another title on Sunday, insists there is more to come and he aims to prove it at the World Para Athletic Championships which start in London tonight.

Peacock said: “I have gone under 11 seconds for all my races bar one – my top speed keeps coming on day by day and week by week and hopefully we will see that on Sunday. I am still looking to perfect things.

“This World Championships is set to be by far the biggest and best para sport has ever seen on any level.

“This is worlds apart from every other medal you get – this is in London. Rio was a job – this is for me. This is our place, we feel at home here.”

Peacock spent eight days at a training camp in Paris, and only got off the Eurostar yesterday morning.

And he will face a tough field in Sunday’s final which will include America’s Jarryd Wallace.

But Peacock said: “It is the same stadium and it is really special. The way the public turn out it is unlike anywhere else in the world.

“It just changes the game. You are out in Paris preparing and when you step out on to the stadium it gives you goosebumps.”
