• Adam Gemili sails into men’s 200m final with 20.03 finish
Dina Asher-Smith insists she is not feeling the pressure to follow her 100m silver with a 200m world title – even though her biggest rivals are dropping like flies.
The 23-year-old Briton finished fastest of all in the first round of the 200m, running a crisp 22.32sec, and is now a huge favourite for gold. But she warned: “Championships are inherently unpredictable and it’s just about how you handle the rounds, how you recover, how you sleep and make sure you execute each race.”
