Asher-Smith hoping to find crumbs of comfort as Neita aims for glory
Evening Standard
|August 06, 2024
DINA ASHER-SMITH has looked like a shadow of her former self at these Games.
The 28-year-old has struggled for her best form at the Stade de France. She failed to make the final of the 100m last week after clocking a disappointing time of 11.1sec in her semi-final.
And she cut an unhappy figure when she was well short of American Gabby Thomas in last night’s semi-finals of the 200m.
Thomas is the overwhelming favourite for gold, so it is perhaps wrong to compare like for like, but Asher-Smith, a former world champion for the distance, looks set to miss out on being in medal contention tonight.
She had continued to talk positively up until last night, when she opted for near-enough silence after her 200m run of 22.31sec.
