London 2012 gold medallist, 2013 world champion and two-time European champion.

Jonnie Peacock is a superstar - not that he knows it.

At the age of five he lost his right leg to meningitis and following London 2012, when he stormed to gold in front of his home crowd, he was launched into celebrity status.

But Peacock is a quiet Cambridgeshire boy, who is happiest when he's out of the spotlight and only uses his platform to try and progress disability sport.

If he makes it double delight tonight though, he'll be a man in demand once more.

He had to look back at the clock before he realised what he has just done but 16 year-old Lewis White has just won a bronze medal at his first Paralympic Games. 

Australia's Brenden Hall claims gold with an impressive time of 4:12.73, five seconds ahead of the rest of the field. 

Italian Federico Mallachi follows in second touching the wall at 4:.17.91. 

But what a performance from young white as he shakes his head in disbelief but he'll be going to bed as a very happy boy tonight. 

London 2012 T44 100m silver medallist Richard Browne talking to BBC Radio 5 live: "Looking at the times, Jonnie really had the best performance in the heats. But I'm going with my teammate Jarryd Wallace. It's going to be a really great race.

"Jonnie is the big-show kind of guy and he's the Paralympic champion for a reason. He doesn't have too much to worry about because he knows what he's got to do to win."

Can Jonnie Peacock retain his T44 100m title (23:58) or will American Jarryd Wallace claim glory? We asked some of the BBC Radio 5 Live athletics team for their views.

Ed Harry: Jarryd Wallace is going to win. He is the more consistent athlete out of him and Peacock. He told me in July ahead of the Anniversary Games where he beat Peacock – no mistake, one mistake, he still has what it takes to win that gold medal.

Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson: This is a real head versus heart dilemma. Although Jonnie came to London as the world record holder four years ago, he was protected a bit, but now there is a different sort of pressure on him. We know he performs at big events but I think Wallace will do it. 

Allison Curbishley:  I think without doubt Jonnie Peacock is going to retain his title. He looked superb in the first round like a guy who has come here ready to run when it mattered. Jarryd Wallace has been talking a good game but I think New Zealand’s Liam Malone could be the surprise packet and could break the two.

Remember Adam Peaty when he won gold in Rio? 

Well, 15 year-old Lewis White has been in close waters with him in his hometown of Derby a they share the same coach, Mel Marshall.

Jonnie Peacock's most likely rival for 100m T44 gold tonight is USA's Jarryd Wallace.

Peacock's personal best is three hundredths of a second better than Wallace's - but the American won out at the Anniversary Games earlier this year.

No Richard Browne through injury though - he's been a long-time nemesis of Peacock.

Meet Pollyanna Hope. She's 11 years old and when she was two she lost her right leg below the knee in a bus accident.

She's made a truly beautiful video, busting out some dance moves and wishing triathlete Andy Lewis, as well as other ParalypicsGB athletes, the best of luck in Rio.

You can watch the video here, external - which is in aid of Elizabeth's Legacy of Hope charity for amputees in Africa and India.

Mickey Bushell after coming sixth: "It's a tough Games. It's been a tough year and I got beaten, it's as simple as that. Everything is moving forward and I've had a bad few years. The standards are going up and up and yeah it's good to see. 

"It's affected me physically, mentally, emotionally and I think it's taking its toll on me now. We go back and train harder ready for the London 2017 World Championships."

Mickey's talking about the tough time he had in hospital where he almost died from an infection but he recovered in time to win gold at the European Championships in June this year- good effort Mick! 

Brent Lakatos' wife Stef Reid, who won Paralympic silver in the long jump earlier today, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Jonathan Overend: "You have to realise that that gold medal was 20 years in the making. That was a phenomenal achievement by Brent. He's always had this theory that if you improve on one thing each year you eventually go on to great things."

This is your 34-minute warning for Jonnie O'Pea-clock.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

The pair have been working hard since February on their synchronicity - a key element of guide running and developing their communication on the track.

They also had to overcome Clegg's reclassification earlier this summer with her degenerative eye condition Stargardt's Disease deteriorating to the extent that she has now moved into the T11 category for blind athletes and has to wear a blindfold while competing.

But all the struggles have been worthwhile.

Clegg said earlier this year that to have any chance of a medal in Rio she needed an elite-level international athlete as a guide.

Clarke, 25, reached the semi-finals of the 200m at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and ran for GB at the 2012 European Championships - but missed out on a place at London 2012.

"Libby approached me and said she needed a new guide. I like a challenge and it is something new and exciting," he said.

"Being attached to someone when you are running took a bit to get used to."

How much has guide Chris Clarke help revitalise Libby Clegg's running career?

Clegg had worked with Mikail Huggins for a number of years with the pair winning Commonwealth gold in Glasgow and Paralympic silver in London.

But their partnership came to an end late last year with Clegg saying she needed a fresh start and they hadn't improved their PB since 2012.

Clarke, himself a talented able-bodied runner, linked up with Clegg in February this year and the partnership has yielded the highest honour of all.

From 20 metres in you could see Lakatos was pulling away. He knew exactly where the finish line was and the first thing he did was check if he broke the world record. It's difficult to see how anyone else will beat him because of his speed.

Tatyana McFadden on Channel 4: "I am so pleased because in London I got bronze and I finished really strong to get silver. I'm so happy.

"I've caught a bit of a cold so I'm trying to take my time to relax because I got medal one today but there's six more to go now."
