Britain's David Weir made it a double with victory in the 200m wheelchair demonstration race at the World Athletics Championships in Helsinki. Weir also claimed victory in the 100m race just over a week ago.
This time he finished in a season's best of 25.47 seconds, again beating Dutch rival Kenny van Weeghel into second place.
Van Weeghel clocked 25.80 seconds while Thailand's Supachai Koysub was third in 26.03 seconds.
"I can't believe it, to be the winner here in two events," said Weir.
"I've been working on my work around the bends although I didn't get as good a start as I wanted."
Weir will now hope for more success when he takes part in the European Open Paralympic Championships, which begin next week in Espoo, Finland.
"I'll be racing the same guys again at the European Championships which will be tough as the track is slower but the support I had here today was fantastic," the Briton added.
Brazil's Adria Santos won the women's visually impaired 200m beating Spain's Purificacion Santamarta into silver.
