British wheelchair racers David Weir, Shelly Woods and Mickey Bushell all recorded wins at the Jona international meeting in Switzerland.

Double Paralympic gold medallist Weir beat his rival Marcel Hug in the T54 800 and 1500m in tricky wet conditions.

Woods got the better of home favourite Sandra Graf and Canada's Diane Roy in the T54 1500m and 5000m.

Bushell, the new world record holder in the T53 100m, continued his good form by winning the 100 and 200m.
