Dan Greaves, Sammi Kinghorn, Thomas Young, Jonathan Broom-Edwards and Hannah Cockroft are in a strong Great Britain & Northern Ireland team at the World Para Athletics Championships in Paris, France, which runs from July 8-17.

Greaves competed at his first World Para Athletics Championships in 2002, which was also in France. Now, 21 years later and after winning medals at six consecutive Paralympic Games, the 40-year-old, who won world discus titles in 2002, 2006 and 2011, will be targeting his first world championship podium in 10 years at the Stadium Charlety in coming days.

Kinghorn, 27, will be competing at her fourth consecutive World Para Athletics Championships and in France she will contest the T53 100m, 400m and 800m, as well as being a member of the 4x100m Universal Relay team.
