The wheelchair star's achievement takes her a step closer to the 11 Paralympic medals won by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson between 1992 and 2004.
Cockroft has now won her sixth gold medal
"I had no idea how those girls were pushing - we hadn't raced together. I had raced Kare once this year. It was a shock all around."Sunday's achievement takes her a step closer to the 11 Paralympic medals won by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson between 1992 and 2004. Speaking about the possibility of overtaking Grey-Thompson, she said:"I'm halfway and I'm three Games in. I'm 29, guys. I don't know if I can do another three Games."We just have to keep bringing more young girls into the sport. If I have to keep beating them, awesome."
Adenegan, a 20-year-old from Coventry, had to settle for second spot and a season's best, which was still significantly slower than her lifetime record of 16.8, set in 2018.
