TEAM GB’s golden boy is chasing his third 100m gold at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, with his track star girlfriend cheering him on.

Meet Sally Brown who sprinted her way from a small-town girl to one of Britain’s top track sensations — and captured the heart of Jonnie Peacock along the way.

Who is Sally Brown?

The 26-year-old was born with dysmelia in her lower arms which resulted in her left arm not developing below the elbow.

The Paralympian first took up athletics as a pastime at nine-years-old but her talent soon made her one of Britain’s brightest stars.

In 2010, she was fast-tracked into a GB training camp and at just 15, she had competed in the 2011 IPC World Championships in New Zealand and the 2012 Paralympics in London.

By the time she was 18, Sally was ranked number one in the UK over both 100m and 200m distances while simultaneously completing her AS Levels in photography and art.

When did Jonnie Peacock and Sally Brown meet?

Sally first met Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock at the World Junior Championships back in 2010.

In 2016, Jonnie gushed about his Northern Irish love, describing how she is the one for him as the two lived together with their French bulldog Luna.

The 31-year-old told the Radio Times: “I’m quite picky, there’s always one thing, isn’t there – Things just don’t click. But they do with her.”

“She’s nice and fiery for me, which is fun and makes life interesting. No day is a bore.”

The couple currently live in Loughborough.

Sally will not be competing in the Paralympics this year, however her boyfriend Jonnie Peacock is set to compete in Paris Paralympics 2024.

When is Jonnie Peacock competing in the 2024 Paralympics?

The four-time Paralympic medallist is targeting his third gold next month in the 100m T44.

He won his first gold at London 2012 at just 19-year-old and set the Paralympic record in the process with a time of 10.90.

The 31-year-old also looks in top shape with a ripped physique and claims he is at the peak of his powers.

Peacock is geared up, with his sights set on Olympic gold.

Asked what his goal in Paris is, Peacock said: “It’s a very shiny medal. When you’ve won a gold medal, silver medals aren’t that fun. They are always a disappointment.

“I feel like I can fight again. That’s something that’s really important for me.

“The last few years I’ve been off balance, right on the ragged edge of my technique where that if I have to push a little bit more, I lose it. Not any more.”

He believes he is “running better than I have run for the last four years” ahead of the 100m T64, having won bronze in the event in Tokyo last time out.
