After a year spent living her new life in Austin, Texas, Dina Asher-Smith is back in London making up for lost time. She has spent the weeks since a rollercoaster Paris Olympics racing around town seeing family and friends, going out for catch-up coffees and dinners, and even going clubbing.
She calls it her “normal life”, as if athletics is another world, and perhaps this is the part of leaving we never consider: coming back again. It has made her realise how much she missed home.
