England's David Weir

Six-time Paralympic champion David Weir put in a majestic display to win his first Commonwealth Games gold medal in the men's T54 1500m.
The Englishman, 35, powered clear on the back straight to win in three minutes 21.67 seconds.
Silver went to Australia's Kurt Fearnley (3:23.08) with Canada's Alex Dupont (3:23.62) taking bronze.
Earlier, England's Jade Jones won her first senior medal with bronze in the women's T54 1500m.
The 18-year-old, who is mentored by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, raced smartly in the tricky conditions.
She chased eventual winner Angie Ballard of Australia and runner-up Diane Roy of Canada over the final lap and held on comfortably for bronze.
