World Athletics Championships: Dina Asher-Smith sets fastest time in 100m heats
Dina Asher-Smith says she has "more to give" after she set the fastest time in the women's 100m heats at the World Athletics Championships.
But she showed she is back to her best on Saturday, her time in the 100m heats a season's best and just one hundredth of a second off the personal best she set when she won world silver three years ago. "I honestly did not expect that time, but at the end of the day, we're looking to go faster so I'm excited."
In the men's 100m, Zharnel Hughes missed out on a place in the final after an early stumble in his semi-final, finishing third behindMuir won her first major outdoor medal at the Olympics 11 months ago and looked in promising form as she progressed into the 1500m final with ease. British team-mate Katie Snowden could not follow her into the final, placing 10th in her semi-final, while Adelle Tracey - who recently switched allegiance from Great Britain to Jamaica - was eighth in the same race.
She placed 10th in a time of 30 minutes 34.6 seconds, with Judd one spot behind with a personal best of 30 minutes 35.93 seconds.
