Dina Asher-Smith equals her 100m British record at World Championships yet misses medal

Dina Asher-Smith equalled her British record but fell agonisingly short of a medal in the 100 metres at the World Athletics Championships.

Britain’s fastest woman matched the 10.83secs time she clocked to win silver in this race last time round - but this time had to settle for fourth place.

“It sucks. Ah so close,” said Asher-Smith. “It was a crazy final. You had to run 10.96 to get into it. But 10.8 low doesn’t get you a medal. It’s amazing, but I’m annoyed.”
