LONDON: Paralympic women`s 100 metres champion Sammi Kinghorn will make her London Marathon debut in April, her first race over the gruelling distance in seven years.

The 29-year-old is Britain`s fastest wheelchair racer in history over every distance from 100 to 800m, and recorded the biggest victory of her career when she won gold in the 100m at last year`s Paralympics in Paris.

Kinghorn has not raced the 42.195km marathon since the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where she finished fourth.-Reuters
