Dina Asher-Smith got the party started with a sparkling win as the £72 million renovated home of British athletics opened its doors for the first time.
On a contrasting day for Britain’s top two sprinters, Asher-Smith beat a high-quality field to win the Diamond League 100 metres at the impressive new Alexander Stadium.
But Zharnel Hughes, Britain’s other European sprint champion, once again false started, was disqualified and walked straight into a withering blast from track legend Michael Johnson.
