ALAN OLIVEIRA WINS THE MEN'S T43/44 100M AND BREAKS THE WORLD RECORD. .
What A Race. Richard Browne was away from the blocks like lightning and Peacock was always chasing. But both were unable to keep up with the astonishing Oliveira.
He sprinted over the line and beat the T44 world record by over 0.2 of a second. He ran a stunning 10.57.
But not just that. Browne, a T43 runner like Peacock, who finished in second, ran 10.75 and broke the T43 world record as well. Peacock had to settle for a personal best with 10.84. Five of the runners in the race ran personal bests overall.

Alan Oliveira smashed the world record for T43 200metres -- and then proposed to his girlfriend at the finish line.
The Brazilian, who famously took Oscar Pistorius' T44 200m Paralympic title at London 2012 and was then criticised by the South African over the size of his blades, raced to victory at the IPC athletics world championships in Lyon.
His time of 20.66seconds shattered Pistorius' previous mark of 21.30 to land the world title, the first of his career, to add to his gold and silver medals from the London Paralympics.
He then marked the moment by asking his girlfriend to marry him -- live on Brazilian telveision.
Oliveira took Briton Jonnie Peacock's T43 100m world best last month by running 10.77 in Berlin, taking 0.14sec off Peacock's mark.
He said of his win today: 'I am really happy about my performance. I made a great start and then in the straight I saw on the giant screen that I was leading with a good distance I saw the seconds passing by and I realised I could break the world record. I hope I will do the same at the 100m.'
