News about Dina Asher-Smith

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: UK Athletics have set a target of winning six to eight track and field medals at the Paris Olympics this summer. If the team hit the lower end of that goal, which has been agreed with funding body UK Sport, it would represent a marginal upgrade on the 2021 Games in Tokyo, where the Brits claimed only five medals after being stripped of their men's 4x100m bronze when CJ Ujah tested positive for drugs. The estimate is broadly consistent with the team's Olympic performances across the past three and a half decades - a period that includes the introduction of lottery funding in 1997 - though it falls some way short of the record-equalling 10 medals brought home from the World Championships in Budapest last year.

HENRY CLARK: World Athletics President Seb Coe says the creators of a new Netflix documentary focusing the world's best sprinters have been taken aback by the sport's global success. Camera crews began following celebrities from the start of last season's season and were given behind-the-scenes access to many big games, including the World Athletics Championship in Budapest and the London Diamond League. Born to Run, Coe, who was one of the first fly-on-the-wall style programs, hopes that the series would inspire interest in the sport in a similar manner as Netflix's Drive to Survive has boosted the success of Formula One, particularly among young people.

The 30-year-old was instrumental in the Lionesses' victory over the Women's World Cup in the final and was rewarded with the Golden Glove. In seven matches, Earps was on full throttle for Sarina Wiegman's team's tournament, winning three clean sheets and conceding only four goals. She also made what seemed to be a crucial penalty save in the closing stages of August's final in Perth, but England finished runners-up to Spain. The Sunday Times' Ben Taylor said: 'Mary Earps' appearance at the 2023 Football World Cup solidified her position as one of the game's best goalkeepers.'

Following the sudden departure of technical director Stephen Maguire just nine months before the Olympics, Dina Asher-Smith has slammed UK Athletics. The Northern Irishman started working in the newly created role in September last year and led the United Kingdom to a new-equalling 10 medal at the World Athletic Championships in Budapest this summer. However, UKA announced that Maguire would resign with 'immediate effect' in a brief statement on Tuesday, giving no reason for his departure and failing to thank him for the past 13 months.

Dina Asher-Smith has split with longtime coach John Blackie after nineteen years, with the Olympic sprinter now serving under Edrick Floreal in Texas. Team GB's announcement comes just nine months before the 2024 Games in Paris begin, as the 27-year-old hopes for her first gold medal at an Olympics. She praised Blackie for 'changing her life' after he aged eight, and said his 'patience and dedication' had been vital in her success as a world champion in 2019.

On Thursday, Dina Asher-Smith demonstrated her gym-honed figure as she posed in colorful bikinis while on holiday in Hawaii. The sprinter, 27, sank into a red patterned pattern as she frolicked in the sea while her toned abs and imposing muscles were on display. Although looking out over the stunning views as she pinned back her curly dark tresses, she caught her in a skimpy green number.

It has been four years since she captured her first international sprint title, and Dina Asher-Smith's wait is on as she finishes seventh in the women's 200m final in Budapest. She was outperformed, considering she had been in the lane next to Asher-Smith and finished second, two places ahead of her in fifth.

Sha'Carri Richardson, an American sprinter, capped her comeback by winning a gold medal at the world championships on Monday in the biggest 100-meter run at the Olympics, two years after a positive test for marijuana. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the 23-year-old's triumph, in 10.65 seconds over Jamaican Shericka Jackson and five-time world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, captained a two-year comeback and fulfilled the mantra that she's been repeating all year: 'I'm not back.' I'm better.' Richardson's ride to the Tokyo Games was blocked two summers ago by a positive result for marijuana in Eugene, Oregon.

HENRY CLARK ISLAND BUDAPEST: Dina Asher-Smith had a tough night, missing out on a second World Championships medal for her collection after placing eighth in the women's 100m final. The Brit was unable to imitate Katarina Johnson-Thompson's heroics on the night before falling way behind winner Sha'Carri Richardson.

Lord Coe believes that a new Netflix series would inspire athletics in the same way that Drive to Survive has raised the profile of Formula One. Mail Sport announced last month that the streaming giant is filming a behind-the-scenes documentary about the world's best sprinters, with shootings set to end at the World Championships on Saturday. The six-part series, which Netflix announced on Wednesday, will be released next summer and be produced by Box to Box Films, who also produced F1's Drive to Survive, golf's Full Swing, and tennis' Break Point.

Exclusive BY DAVID COVERDALE: Athletics is getting the Netflix treatment as part of a behind-the-scenes documentary about the world's best sprinters. Mail Sport claims that a camera crew has been following the track and field circuit this season and was on hand for the Diamond League's meeting in London last weekend. The new series is expected to feature the top 100 meters and 200 meters runners, with Dina Asher-Smith of the United Kingdom in line to compete. In the same way that Netflix's Drive to Survive has dramatically raised Formula One's fanbase, it is hoped that the film would provide a major boost to the sport.

MARK WOODS AT MANCHESTER REGIONAL ARENA: Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, and Manchester was almost drowned by the flood, but Zharnel Hughes charged with electricity flowing through his feet. The men's 100 meters final at the British Championships was held on a surface more resembling a duck pond than an athletics track, but the 27-year-old maintained course and sailed to a record breaking victory in 10.03 seconds. It was just two-tenths off the UK record set by the Anguilla-born sprinter in New York last month. He ripped away from his domestic rival Reece Prescod, who took a mere 10.14 seconds, and the fact that all eight athletes survived was remarkable considering that an entire stadium was bolted for cover.

Kyle Walker is the Premier League's fastest player, having been caught sprinting at 23.3 mph in preparation. The Manchester City defender is known for his electric tempo, but there may have been some questions about his speed as he approached age 32, as many players have experienced after turning 30. However, the England star remains ahead of the pack and is quicker than no one in the English top flight in at least three seasons.

Hodgkinson's only and obvious aim this summer is to win the 800 meters world championship in Budapest. And, as she enters her wilful winter, she has every intention of achieving that goal. She has broken the indoor 600m world record, lowered her own 800m British record, and championed the 800m at the European Indoors in less than five weeks. The latest of those achievements culminated in a four-lap parade in Istanbul on Sunday night, finishing nearly two seconds ahead of her nearest competitor to defend her title from two years ago.

Jack Buckner, the head of UK Athletics, admits he is having'sleepless nights' over the company's finances ahead of staging their first international event of the year. The governing body reported losses of £1.8 million in the last financial year, with reserves down from £2.2 million to a troubling £430,000, due to a prolonged period of mismanagement and a drastic decrease in sponsorship and broadcasting revenue. The World Indoor Tour Final in Birmingham will be hosted by the United Kingdom in July, the country's first world-level match alongside the Diamond League at the London Stadium.

She is best known for her ability as the fastest British female runner on record. But Dina Asher-Smith has demonstrated that she brings her A-game to the red carpet as well as the running track, as she dazzled in a white oversized blazer and mini skirt at the British Fashion Awards in London. The actress, 27, appeared in the co-ordinated outfit, putting her cleavage on view as she took a few snaps at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday night.

It's difficult to believe that the real Stormzy will be starstruck, but the rapper admits that Adele left him in awe. "I've always been a huge fan" on "The Jonathan Ross Show" (which will air on Nov. 26. I was astonished at her London show and was enthralled. I am terribly surprised. I remember I was like, 'Can I hug you?Oh, can I hug you again?' I think I asked around three to four times. She's lovely. Stormzy returned the favor and then stepped off to watch Adele's Las Vegas show. Adele's stay, which was supposed to commence in January, was postponed due to her, "just no soul in it," she told Elle Magazine. Rather, she opened Weekends with Adele on Nov. 18, and Stormzy was there to assist her on the opening night.

On Monday, Dina Asher Smith discussed her aspirations to become a professional athlete after attending the Bazaar At Work Summit 2022 at the Kimpton Fitzroy London hotel in Bloomsbury. Dame Kelly Holmes, the runner who is the fastest British woman on record, said she inspired herself to become a runner after seeing the olympian win a double gold medal in 2004.

Dina Asher-Smith was nothing short of sensational when she blasted her fitness figure in a tiny string bikini on Sunday. On Instagram, the champion runner, 26, shared some sizzling snaps from her holiday in Antigua and Barbuda, the Caribbean's idyllic. Dina took a dip in the sea with a black two-piece, writing: 'Happiest in the sun.'

Dina Asher-Smith's temperatures soared as she posed as a tumultuous Instagram snap on Wednesday. In a tiny red bikini, the lady, 26, soaked up the sun in a tropical setting. The beauty was accentuated by a chic red bandana, as well as a pair of black sunglasses.

Britain fell a fraction off the top of the European Championships in Munich due to a botched baton change in the women's relay, putting the individual and collective tense. With a tough challenge for Britain as champions, the fourx100m quartet of Asha Philip (second right) and Dina Asher-Smith (left) had a chance to lead the overall standings after battling Germany and ending in the top two places. However, after Philip failed to give over to Lansiquot in the first change, it was all horribly and dramatically wrong, and it was compounded by Germany's victory, which cemented their position as the top country.

With the European Championships coming to an end after two weeks of competition, it's time to reflect on those glorious golden highs, as well as those that may have been more effective. There's certainly a lot to take away from the latest Munich performances, from the success of Britain's rowers (pictured) and runners, to the challenges of GB cyclists, and the lack of commitment to the athletics' multi-sport strategy. Cathal Dennehy discusses some of the European Championships' highest points as well as a few of the weakest ones.
