Dina Asher-Smith has a best time of 10.83 in the 100M in Doha 2019 and won Silver in the World championships so unfortunately the timing of this Olympics has not been great with a couple of niggles has obviously made her lose her sharpness.
She won Gold in the 200M in the WC in Doha but she will need a major improvement to medal this time.
Great achievement for Neita to make a final.
The Jamaicans were in second gear when crusing into the final.
Dina Asher-Smith is only 25 and she was mustard in 2019.
Great to see both mixed triathlon and Swimming teams win Gold in new events for GB. Personally prefer the format of Male against Male and Female against Female of the triathlon event.
Michael Johnson was not only a World class Athlete but listening to him articulate the situation with the Nigerian sprinter Blessing, who has been barred because of a growth hormone was educational and understanding about the integrity unit which has been set up.
I preferred the tactics of the swimming it's it had to be FMFM or any other prescribed order it would just be another medley relay. I think having the men's 100 meter Olympic champion chase women down on the freestyle leg is potentially fascinating. Thankfully he is was so far behind for it to matter.
Nigerian fella just won his 100m heat.... No doubt drugged up to the f******g eyeballs.
I'm not sure it's fair to go round throwing accusations like that around. I'm presuming that's purely based on the Nigerian female runner failing a test?

Nope. From Reuters. Bunch of wrong uns
This is the latest blow for Nigeria's athletics team after 10 track and field athletes were ruled as ineligible for the Tokyo Games three days ago for failing to meet minimum testing requirements

No proof he's guilty. He won a first round 100m heat, hardly as if he's come from nowhere to win an Olympic medal.
Heartbreaking watching Dina's interview. Pulling out of 200m, looks like she picked up a bad hamstring injury at the trials. Surprised she didn't pull out of the 100 and concentrate on the 200 prior to the games. Obviously wanted to prove her fitness, gotta feel bad for her but she'll have another games or two.
So not a niggle but Hamstring problems. Pulling out of 200m. Agree the emotional roller coaster was tough to watch, and amazing that her inner circle kept quiet.
She is World class and at 25 she will be back in 100 and 200M.

18 months ago she looked unbeatable and was at the top of her game.
This extra year hasn't been kind to her.

Thankfully the next Olympics are only 3 years away and she should still be at her peak then
Not true.
She won Silver in 100M in Doha at World Championships in 2019.
