Timeline

1992

Hannah Lucy Cockroft (born 30 July 1992) is a British wheelchair racer specialising in sprint distances in the T34 classification.

She holds the world records for the 100 metres, 200 metres, 400 metres, 800 metres and 1500 metres in her classification and the Paralympic records at 100 metres, 200 metres, 400 metres and 800 metres.

Cockroft was born on 30 July 1992 in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

She had two cardiac arrests after birth which left her with permanent damage in numerous areas of her brain, resulting in weak hips, deformed feet and legs and mobility problems and affecting the fine motor skills in her hands.

She is able to walk short distances but uses a wheelchair for long distances.

Cockroft competes on the track as a T34 athlete.

After being turned away from sport throughout her primary education, Cockroft competed at secondary school in swimming, seated discus and wheelchair basketball.

2007

As a result of a silver medal performance in the seated discus at the UK School Games, she attended a British Paralympic Association talent day at Loughborough University in October 2007.

Here, she was given her first opportunity to try an elite racing wheelchair by Dr Ian Thompson, husband of former wheelchair racer Tanni Grey-Thompson.

Thompson went on to coach her for the first year of her career.

2008

In 2008 a dance academy she attended gave the proceeds from programme sales at its annual show to help her buy her own racing chair, but when it arrived, its made-to-measure set up was incorrect, so her father, a welder, modified the wheelchair to fit.

After returning to the UK School Games that year, and taking gold in her first competitive 100 metres race, she was subsequently invited to join the Great Britain Paralympic Team shortly after the Beijing Paralympics.

2009

In 2009, Cockroft participated in her first ever road race; the London Mini Marathon, taking the Champion title in the girls 14–19 age group category.

2010

By 2010, Cockroft was being coached by Peter Eriksson, head Paralympic coach at UK Athletics.

She again competed in the London Mini marathon, retaining her title as the female champion and at the Knowsley disability athletics challenge in May, she broke her first World Record in the T34 400 metres, recording a time of 65.51 seconds.

Later that month, Cockroft sat her A-level exams and broke seven more world records in the space of eight days.

At the Aviva and UK Athletics Awards in December, she received the Best British Paralympic Performance award for 2010.

2011

Cockroft made her senior Great Britain team debut at the age of 19, at the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Here, she took gold in the T34 100 metres and the T34 200 metres.

Later that year she made her junior representative debut at the IWAS World Junior Championships, winning both the 200 metres and 400 metres.

Her performances earned her a second Best British Paralympic Performance award in November 2011 and honorary lifetime membership of her athletics club, Leeds City AC.

2012

Competing for Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Paralympics, she won two gold medals.

In May 2012, Cockroft became the first Paralympic athlete to break a world record in the London Olympic Stadium, recording a time of 18.56 seconds to win the T34 100 metres.

She broke the record again at the Swiss National Championships later that month, finishing in 17.60 seconds.

On 31 August 2012, Cockroft competed in her first Paralympic Games final and won Great Britain's first track gold medal since 2004, and first track and field gold medal of the 2012 Summer Paralympics, winning the final of the 100 metres T34 in 18.05 seconds, a Paralympic record.

On 6 September, she won another gold medal in 200 metres T34 in 31.90 seconds, also a Paralympic record.

In honour of her achievements at London 2012, Royal Mail issued two postage stamps featuring Cockroft and painted two post boxes gold in her home town of Halifax.
