Dina Asher-Smith came eighth in the Women's 100m sprint at the final of the World Athletic Championships in Budapest. Sha'Carri Richardson, from the USA, stormed to first place with a jaw-dropping time of 10.65 seconds, narrowly beating Jamaican pair Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. But Dina, 27, who was running for Great Britain, unfortunately trailed behind and didn't even make the top three of the sprinters, with her time at 11 seconds.
Dina, who was placed on the far right side, ran out to jubilant cheers from the crowd, but the onlookers' support wasn't enough to propel her to victory. She just managed to scrape into the 100m final at the World Championships. The runner clocked just 11.02 seconds in her semi-final to come third in Budapest on Monday night and needed to rely on a fastest loser spot – sneaking in by a thousandth of a second.
Daryll Neita failed to make the final after running an underwhelming 11.03s. The pinnacle of Dina Asher-Smith's career arrived at the 2019 World Athletics Championships, where she etched her name into history books. She achieved a groundbreaking feat by earning her first-ever women's world or Olympic sprinting title for both herself and Great Britain.
This remarkable accomplishment also marked her as Britain's fastest woman in history, a remarkable milestone that will forever be etched in sports history.
The incredible sportswoman specialises in 100m and 200m. She became the European champion at both distances in 2018 and is also the British record holder in the 100 m and 200 m and in the 60 m indoor. Dina was born in Orpington, London in December 1995, to parents Julie and Winston Asher-Smith, who are from Jamaica, and settled in the United Kingdom prior to her birth.
