- Sprinter second behind Elaine Thompson-Herah
- Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson wins 800m gold in Diamond League
After a season drenched in tears and heartbreak, Dina Asher-Smith went toe-to-toe with the greatest women’s sprinter in history – and reminded everyone just what she can do when her body is firing and pain-free.
On a raucous and joyous night in Zurich, a crowd of nearly 30,000 roared Asher-Smith on as she flew out of the blocks and led the double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah for 50m, before the Jamaican found a fifth and sixth gear to power home in 10.65sec – the eighth fastest in history – to add the Diamond League 100m crown to her collection.
