Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith clinches 100m gold at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
Dina Asher-Smith claimed 100m gold at the European Athletics Championships as British team-mates Georgia Bell and Lizzie Bird also achieved medals in Rome.
Having now moved to train with Edrick Floreal in Austin, Texas, this was a timely victory for Asher-Smith as she builds towards an attempt at winning her first individual Olympic medal at Paris 2024. "Overall I’m really happy that I’m six-to-eight months into a new set-up and I’m here putting together performances like this back-to-back."
"Even six months ago winning European silver would have sounded crazy. I was unranked, unsponsored, and had a 1500m personal best of 4:06," Bell said.In holding out for European bronze, Bird also achieved the Olympic qualifying standard to ensure she will just require a top-two finish at the UK Championships, which double as the Olympic trials, on 29 and 30 June to secure her spot in Paris.
