Scholar Thomas Young added another world medal to his repertoire by finishing third in the men’s T38 100m.
Recording a time of 10.98 secs, the 25-year-old’s personal best was enough to add to his silver medals from Doha (2019) and Kobe (2024). United States duo Jaydin Blackwell (10.70) and Ryan Medrano (10.90) won gold and silver respectively.
Speaking after the race, Young said: “If a lot of people could have two things in a championship year, it would be a PB and a medal. I ticked off those two things – but I do like to win, and whenever I don’t, I am harsh to myself.
“We’ve got stuff to work on – Commonwealths next year, then onto the World Championships and then the Paralympics.”
Elsewhere there was another podium place for Loughborough as Hollie Arnold secured bronze in the women’s F46 javelin.
Arnold, who trains on campus, notched a season-best throw of 41.94m following her return to action after a nine-month break after the Paris games.
Noelle Roerda of the Netherlands won gold with 43.74m as Uzbekistan's Shahinakhon Yigitalieva claimed silver.
"It's a real weird mix of emotions. I'm proud, there's upset, there's a million and one things," Arnold said.
"After Paris mental health came first for me and I just needed to take that time for myself and really understand myself.
"I didn't know if I was going to be here, this was not on my cards this year whatsoever, so to be able have very little training out here, throw pretty consistently well. I'm really proud of myself.
"I'm not the same person I was in Paris, I'm a very different Hollie and I'm a happy Hollie. To come out here and compete, yeah, I loved it."
The World Para Athletics Championships continue until Sunday 5 October 2025.
