Hollie Arnold has won world title No.6 in the womens javelin at the World Para Championships in Kobe.

She took the lead in the first round of the F46 competition with 39.44m and extended her lead with 40.89m in the fourth.

Serbias Saska Sokolov took silver with 38.55m as Noelle Roorda of the Netherlands was third with 38.41m.

After a tough year last year, Im so pleased to come back with two consecutive world titles, said Arnold.

I have been worried sick for the last two days but as soon as I walked out on to the track, I was like game time, gladiator on.

The 29-year-old is hoping to compete in her fifth Paralympics this summer.

I have been telling my coach Scott (Knighton) that if I go out there and get that first throw down, whatever it may be, I can build on that and that gave me a real boost for the rest of the series.

The emotion came out when I threw over 40m and although anything can happen, as soon as those last athletes went to throw and I realised I had won, I just had to hold it together for my last throw. I was getting really emotional because I knew I had won a sixth title.
