Sprint QUEEN 👑 Dina Asher-Smith 🇬🇧 | Every Roma 2024 race

[@AllInTheGame01]

Was encouraging to see Dina finish the season strong in her 1st yr under a new coach, can't believe it's been 5yrs since she ran a 100/200m PB, hope that changes next yr 🤞 GB's W4x1 (41.55 NR) are capable of breaking GDR's longstanding 41.37 European Record from '85 & would love to see it happen next yr as well 🤞

As a Brit, I would love to see all of that happen for Dina and Team GB. Dina is one of the best women sprinters to not hold 10.7/21.7 PB’s, but she had a solid first year with Coach Flo, and with Julien and Rhasidat as training partners, she can definitely reach and even surpass those marks. On the topic of relays, I would also like to see the women’s 4x1 relay WR broken. I think the Jamaican quartet could have done it in Tokyo, but it wasn’t to be. GB can definitely get the ER of 41.37, but they’ll need effectively a perfect race.

@@sportsgod-c2d Will be disappointed if by the end of their careers Dina never runs 10.7/21.7 PBs, Daryll never runs 10.8/21.9 PBs & Imani never runs low 10.9/mid 22 PBs as the talent to do so is clearly there! In the most ideal W4x1 race at any point since '21, JAM would've easily broken the 40.82 WR, USA behind them would've come close to it by dipping under 41s & GB would've run under 41.37 to set a new ER. I really like the new order of Dina on 1st leg & Daryll on 4th, but slightly prefer Amy on 2nd & Imani on 3rd instead of the other way round - hopefully they all stay healthy & have more opportunities to run together to break that ER 🤞 Both M&W 4x4s are also looking good with the progress the likes of MHS, Dobson, Reardon, Anning & Nielsen all made this yr! I think a team of MHS, Dobson, Reardon & Mitcham can run faster (sub 2.55) than the 2.55.83 ER GB ran in Paris, and a team of Anning, Nielsen, Yeargin & Ohuruogu that ran a 3.19.72 NR in Paris is capable of a sub 3.19 NR.

@@AllInTheGame01 I agree. Daryll has really come into her own since making the 100m final in Tokyo; she's mastered her role as anchor leg for Team GB, but she has lots of individual potential, which we saw as she came close to winning a medal in both sprint events in Paris. I would maybe keep Imani as 2nd leg because she's so used to running 2nd and because Amy is the better 200m runner so she would likely run the better 3rd leg, but GB could try swapping them in a Diamond League race, say, and see how it works out. GB stood on business in Paris. We didn't win many individual medals, but we were the only country to win a medal in all five relays (despite not winning any of them, and coming second in only one of them -- the rest third 😅). USA would have also done the same if the men didn't have problems in the 4x1 yet again, and would have won all the relays had it not been for that and Femke's upset in the mixed 4x4. Anyway, this does go to show GB does have quality depth, like Vernon Norwood said on Citius Mag. Maybe GB could have won the women's 4x1 with a better baton exchange from Amy to Daryll. MHS did say he wanted GB to win gold in the men's 4x4 to make up for the disappointment of narrowly being denied victory in the open 400m by Quincy Hall. On paper, it would be almost impossible for GB to beat USA or Botswana, but credit to them for trying, setting a new ER in the process and MHS splitting 43.09 -- only Tebogo posting a faster split (43.03) in the 4x4 final. I can't wait for Tokyo 25. We'll have to wait a while with it being in September, but I believe that all three of the 4x4 relay WR's can be broken. From a British perspective, hopefully Dina can win her first individual global medal since Eugene having missed out in Budapest and Paris, and Daryll can win her first overall. And maybe -- maybe -- they can get the 41.37 ER.

@@sportsgod-c2d Re Amy on 2nd leg in the W4x1, just have a slight preference for taller rangier sprinters with a strong 200m background eating up the ground on that long 2nd leg which she did brilliantly @World Relays earlier in the yr where she ran one of if not the fastest 2nd leg split, so would like to see GB if possible try that order of Dina-Amy-Imani-Daryll a few times next yr. The Relays would be so boring if USA are able to easily win all 5 of them at every WC/OLY, so was good for the sport to see NED win the Mixed 4x4, CAN win the M4x1, BOT M4x4 & GB W4x1 come close to winning in Paris! M4x4 @Tokyo '25 will be even more exciting if GB are able to put out a healthy team that contains 3 guys who've never run together but have all split 43s in the last yr or so in MHS (43.09), Dobson (43.33) & Mitcham (43.89) plus 20yr old Reardon who's very new to the event who ran a 44.70 400m PB will only get faster! All 3 4x4 WRs can definitely be broken next yr which is crazy to say given how long 2 of them have been on the books! GB has the depth/quality to medal in all 5 Relays again & potentially break at least the NR in 4 of them with only the 37.36 M4x1 NR looking the least likely to be broken as GB hasn't run sub 37.6s since setting that NR @'19 WC!

The sprinting standards for Europe is so low. All these first world countries with all their resources and money, and STILL can't get on top with ALL their advantages. Just goes to show that you really can take a horse to the biggest pond there is, but you cannot make him drink. Even Dina's world championship winning time was sooooooo slooooowwwww even for its time🥴🤡
