Cockroft confirmed for Anniversary Games

And fans will get the chance to see the five-time Paralympic champion look to power her way to more UK glory after she was announced to compete in the Müller Anniversary Games next month.

The London Stadium will host the competition once again, a venue 25-year-old Cockroft has enjoyed some of her greatest moments.

She won T34 100m and 200m Paralympic gold at London 2012, before victories in the 100m, 400m and 800m at last year's World Para Athletics Championships sealing her status as the most decorated British para athlete in World Championship history with ten titles overall.

And the Halifax-born star is delighted to once again be taking part in the Anniversary Games.

"I'm honestly so excited to be racing at the Müller Anniversary Games for a fifth time this summer," said Cockroft.

"The event is always amazing and is one I've been a part of year on year since London 2012, but every time I get the chance to compete again is just as exciting as the first.

"The London Stadium has such a special place in my heart and is where I made the connection with the British crowd that has only got stronger over time.

"I've just had a good spell of competition over in Switzerland, but that was without my main competition being present.

"They will be at the Muller Anniversary Games so I know that the challenge will make for a very exciting race."
