The Jamaican sprinter beat her
British opponent in Doha to win her fourth World gold with the Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou collecting a bronze 9.50pm BST
In the mixed 4x400, the
United States beat Jamaica and Bahrain to claim the gold medal. Allyson Felix claimed her 12th world gold medal to surpass Usain Bolt’s haul. Martyn Rooney attempted to flash home for Team GB & NI to win bronze, but they lost out. He has a conspiracy theory on the Bahrain team crossing the line when passing the baton so one to watch. Can this event survive? It was fun but is that enough? 9.36pm BST
Asher-Smith speaks! “I’ve worked so hard for this and hopefully I’ll go onto bigger things. I thought ‘this is your time to go’ and I came away with a PB and national record. I’d have loved to win today but Shelly-Anne is an absolute legend and I’m happy. For me it’s always been to stay focused and keep my eye on the prize. I’ve done 100m at a world champs before so it was a new experience for me at this level and I couldn’t have done it without my coaching team.”
She has the 200m to start tomorrow so she’ll be straight off to bed now hoping to go one better!
