British Paralympian Aled Davies sets two world records in the discus and shot-put at the International Paralympic Committee Grand Prix in Dubai.

British Paralympian Aled Davies set two world records at the International Paralympic Committee Grand Prix in Dubai on Sunday and Monday.

The 23-year-old threw 48.87m in the discus competition on Sunday, which is 18cm further than his F42 world best.

The Welshman continued in his impressive form the following day by throwing 15.92m in the shot-put final to claim another world record.

Davies has gone from strength to strength in the event as he bettered the 14.71m shot that earned him gold in the Lyon World Championships in 2013.
