Dina Asher-Smith dedicates brilliant 200m World Championships bronze to her late grandma

Dina Asher-Smith paid an emotional tribute to her late grandma after winning a brilliant bronze medal in the classiest World Championship 200 metres race ever staged.

A year after injury ruined her Olympics and left her devastated in Tokyo, Britain’s defending champion returned to the world stage and won the medal she had her heart set on.

Shericka Jackson succeeded the Kent star as champion by winning in a championship record 21.45 seconds - the second fastest time in history behind Florence Griffiths Joyner’s 34-year old mark. The Jamaican covered the first 100m in 11.04secs before coming home in an astonishing 10.41.
