Jonnie Peacock says he will be “ready to fight” as he targets a third Paralympic gold medal at Paris 2024.
The 31-year-old Briton won gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016 but had to settle for joint bronze in the T64 100m final in Tokyo three years ago.
More recently, Peacock has been affected by injures and issues with his technique, and finished fifth in last year’s World Championships.
However, he says he is “running better than I have run for the last four years”.
Asked what his goal was in Paris, he told BBC Sport’s Sally Hurst: “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.”
The Games get under way with the opening ceremony on Wednesday in Paris with the T64 100m final on Monday at the Stade de France.
