The 22-year-old Stirchley sprinter finished third in her T63 100m final as a time of 14.66s saw her narrowly beat Swiss star Elena Kratter to a medal.

Okoh, who completed a degree in Law and Criminology at the University of Birmingham last year, also banked bronze at the Paris Paralympics to catapult herself onto the para sport map.

She is just two years into her burgeoning career but has a crystal-clear ambition about what she hopes to achieve at the next Games in LA in three years’ time.

“It's not been just about the medal perspective here - it’s about what I've been working on with my coach and what we're striving for in LA,’ she said.
