Dina Asher-Smith wins the 200m title at the UK Athletics Championships to confirm her place at the Paris Olympic Games, while 17-year-old Phoebe Gill wins the 800m final.
Dina Asher-Smith confirmed her place at the Paris 2024 Olympics as she beat Daryll Neita to the British 200m title at the UK Athletics Championships.
The 23-year-old Amber Anning won the women's 400m in impressive fashion from Laviai Nielsen, who joins twin sister Lina on the Olympic team, while another rising star Charlie Dobson dominated the men's event. Georgia Bell, 30, will make her first appearance at an Olympics after she stunned favourite Laura Muir in the women's 1500m, as will Neil Gourley and European 5,000m silver medallist George Mills after they occupied the top-two spots in men's final.Asher-Smith had qualified fastest for the final in 22.69secs, with Neita also winning her heat in 23.05secs - and the former world 200m champion raised her level again to take victory in a season's best time.
It was also a successful weekend for Neita, who stormed to the British 100m title on Saturday night, taking a dominant victory in 11.24secs in miserable conditions.
