DINA ASHER-SMITH said that she “ran angry” after returning to the track on Sunday morning still livid with her performance in the women’s 100 metres the previous night.

Asher-Smith was at a loss to explain how she did not make the final on Saturday evening and not even easing into the 200m semi-finals with the third-fastest qualifying time was enough to change her mood.

Indeed, Asher-Smith’s time of 22.28 seconds, in which she was clearly slowing down before crossing the finish line, demonstrated to her that she is close to peak physical condition for these Games.
