Wheelchair sprinter Mickey Bushell upgraded his Beijing silver to gold in London with victory in the T53 100 metres.
The 22-year-old, the world record holder, got off to a flying start and raced away from the field to win in a new Paralympic record 14.75 seconds.
Bushell was 0.34secs clear of the field as he convincingly claimed Great Britain's fifth gold medal in the Olympic Stadium.
He was born with seven vertebrae missing from the lower part of the back.
