Dina Asher-Smith, Great Britain's fastest woman, says she is in a 'new era' after undergoing big changes in 2024.
Dina Asher-Smith says she is in a "new era" and can achieve more than she previously thought possible following her 100m heartbreak at Paris 2024.
The 2019 world 200m champion is a three-time Olympic relay medallist but had hoped to end her wait for a first individual Olympic medal in Paris, having made a promising start following her move to Austin, Texas. The morning after her 100m semi-final exit in Paris, Asher-Smith had to remove herself from a track-side interview after coming through her 200m heat, the emotion of the previous night still raw.
"I was still in the middle of the Olympics. My job in that moment was to put my best performance together for the 200m and I just knew I had to remove myself from that situation to put myself in the best mental head space." The Briton won at the Diamond League in Lausanne in a season's best 10.88 seconds, before clocking 10.89 in Zurich and then finishing runner-up only to training partner Alfred at the Diamond League final in Brussels in September.Next year - the second of this new chapter in her career - provides an opportunity for Asher-Smith to take her haul of global medals into double figures when the World Athletics Championships take place in Tokyo, Japan.
