"I have worked so hard for these championships and hopefully I'll go on to do even bigger things," Asher-Smith told BBC Sport. Relay medals followed at world and Olympic level before she showed her teeth by winning three European golds last year. Fraser Pryce, who carried son Zyon on her lap of honour, told BBC Sport:"To be standing here as world champion again after having my baby, I am elated.

In the final, Asher-Smith gave all she could but it was not enough to overhaul one of world sprinting's all-time greats. The poor attendances over the first three days in Doha have been a major talking point and BBC Sport pundit Denise Lewis said on Sunday that athletics' governing body the IAAF"has let our athletes down massively".

Meanwhile, American athletics great Allyson Felix claimed her 12th world title as her quartet won the first 4x400m mixed relay final at a World Championships.
