• Asher-Smith’s coach John Blackie credited with key role
Dina Asher-Smith’s “out of this world” treble at the European Championships was the best display by a British track competitor in a generation, according to the UK Athletics performance director, Neil Black.
Asher-Smith will go for 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold medals again at next year’s world championships and Black, who has worked in the sport for 26 years, said her rivals would be “crazy” to underestimate her.
