Lyon 2013 - Day four athlete flash quotes

"I am really happy, I had good sensations on the track even if I did not do a good start, I got better after the first lap, I accelerated and overtook the second and the first to finally reach the gold."

Men's 200m T42

Gold medallist - Richard Whitehead (GBR)

It was tough today. I've had some great support here. I had a bit of a bad situation last week. I broke one my feet whilst out training and then a quad injury. UKAthletics has done amazing to get me on my feet. I raced amazing today and the conditions have played a factor today with the actual time.

It was all about crossing the line first. I really dug in deep that last 20m. It was so tight. That was probably the hardest last 50m in a 200m I ever had to do.

Women's 800m T54

Gold medallist and new world record - Tatyana McFadden (USA)

"It's unbelievable. It was really tough but I was confident in my training and I trusted myself. The support from fans has been helpful as well. I am quite positive for the 100m even though it is going to be such a competive race once again."

Men's 800m T11

Gold medallist - Odair Santos (BRA)

"I am really happy, I had good sensations on the track even if I did not do a good start. I got better after the first lap, I accelerated and overtook the second and the first to finally reach the gold."

Men's discus throw F42

Gold medallist - Aled Davies (GBR)

"I was the favourite and I feel in great form so I expected a win. I made it difficult for myself but managed to smash it. I know what I am able to do. I was very close from the world record and I am sure that someday I will take it off Fanie Lombard. The only question is when."

Men's 10,000m T12

Gold medallist and new world record holder - El Amin Chentouf (MAR)

"The aim today was clear. I was going for the world record. I tried to save energy in the 5,000m two days ago to be ready for this one. Now I am tired. I need to recover in order to perform well in the marathon and then the gold medals will come in threes."
