Peacock has not competed for Great Britain since 2017

Reigning Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock is among 32 competitors to have been added to the Great Britain athletics team for this summer’s Games.

Sprinter Peacock, who has been selected for the T64 100m, will bid to make it a hat-trick of Paralympic titles in Tokyo following glory in London and Rio.

Fellow gold medallists Libby Clegg and Kadeena Cox have also been selected.

Six-time Paralympic gold medallist David Weir will compete on both the track and road at the Games.

After missing out on medals in Rio five years ago, Weir, 42, said he would not race for Great Britain again but later said he wanted to be considered for the marathon in Tokyo.

However, some good performances on the track at a meeting in Switzerland in May have given Weir renewed enthusiasm and he will race in the 1500m and 5,000m on the track before the marathon on the final day of the Games, Sunday 5 September.

Both Weir and discus thrower Dan Greaves (F64 discus) will be competing in their sixth Games, which begins on 24 August, with the athletics programme getting underway three days later.

Clegg and guide runner Chris Clarke who won double gold in Rio, will concentrate solely on the T11 200m while Cox, who will be competing in two sports again after being named in the cycling team, will defend her T38 400m title.

Newly crowned European Para-athletics champions Columba Blango (T20 400m), Dan Pembroke (F13 Javelin) and Zak Skinner (T13 Long Jump and 100m) are among those to earn call-ups for their first Paralympics.

The first wave of athlete selections for Tokyo was announced last month.
