Great Britain's Daryll Neita, Dina Asher-Smith and Bianca Williams reached the semi-finals of the women's 200m at Paris 2024, after world champion Shericka Jackson withdrew.
An emotional Asher-Smith told BBC Sport: "I'm just angry from yesterday to be honest. I was angry but coming down the home straight I was like 'relax, relax'.GB's Dina Asher-Smith says she's very upset about not reaching the women's 100m final Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Thomas, 27, took world silver behind Jackson last year and began her campaign in Paris by setting the fastest time of round one in 22.20.
Reigning champion Elaine Thompson-Herah, of Jamaica, had been ruled out of defending her two sprint titles in Paris because of an Achilles tendon injury. "Fourth was so bittersweet. I've had a little sleep on it and honestly I'm really proud of myself. It gives me so much confidence and a lot of motivation going into tomorrow."Lina Nielsen qualified for the women's 400m hurdles semi-finals but Jessie Knight must go through a repechage round.
