Sprinters finish joint-fourth at Diamond League meeting‘I was hoping for a little bit quicker,’ admits Asher-Smith
The battle for bragging rights between Britain’s top two sprinters was left hanging in the warm Oslo air after Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita could not be separated after a thrilling 100m. The women, who will be targeting world medals in Budapest in August, were adjudged to have run a dead heat after returning times of 10.98 seconds.
While that time was respectable – and marked a notable return to form for Asher-Smith – both wanted more after finishing in joint-fourth behind Marie-Josée Ta Lou, whose time of 10.74 is the fastest of the year.
