• Asher-Smith faces best in the world in Diamond League 200m• ‘You can’t be daunted by anybody’When the question came, Dina Asher-Smith did not even blink. “What is it like being the hunted, not the hunter, now that you are one of the best sprinters in the world?” Britain’s triple European champion was asked. “I like it,” she replied. “It’s cool. Everybody thinks they are the best in the race. That’s how sprints work and that’s how it’s got to be. And I want to win.”
The 23-year-old proved she was world class in
Berlin last year, clocking world-leading times of 10.85 and 21.89sec to break her own national records, as she won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. However, she knows she will have her work cut out on Sunday when she headlines the Birmingham Diamond League in a 200m that oozes extreme class and guile.
