Dina Asher-Smith takes British 200m title before revealing she has quit Texas for London
Dina Asher-Smith is back on top form after recent surprise relocation home to London following 18-month stint in Texas but the national record holder is refusing to divulge too many details Dina Asher-Smith pipped Amy Hunt in a photofinish to win the 200m national title before revealing she has permanently relocated home to London. Britain's fastest woman clocked a championship record 22.14secs in blustery Birmingham and put her recent form down to home comforts after ending an 18-month stint in Texas under renowned coach Edrick Floreal. Asher-Smith does not want any details of her current 'support system' to be publicised until after next month's World Championships for fear of it hurting her preparations. But she did hint at being back in 'an environment where I can have discussions" and 'be happy, free and my fullest, most vibrant self.' She added: 'I just want a nice, smooth path to Tokyo because I'm in great shape and know I can go there and perform really well. 'I'm back in London and so grateful to have an incredible support system that I've had for so long. I need to be in an environment where I can have discussions and work hard through my races week on week. I think it's really important to be in an environment that recognises that and fosters it.' Asher-Smith has confirmed she will double in Japan and had a far clearer answer when asked if she feels in medal shape: 'Yes.' While new 100m champ Hunt came just short of sealing a sprint double, Zharnel Hughes zoomed to a championship record 19.9secs in the men's 200m to add to the gold he won comfortably on Saturday night. Josh Kerr also proved a class above in the 5000m, pushing on with a kilometre to go after a pedestrian start. And Georgia Hunter Bell sealed the 800m prize to confirm her option to compete over that and the 1500m in Tokyo. But she will now not settle on a plan until after running 800m at Lausanne Diamond League, which is slated to be Keely Hodgkinson's long-awaited return from injury, on August 20. Asked if she can beat Olympic 800m champ Hodgkinson, who is also her training partner, Hunter Bell said: "I don't know. We train together all the time. But she's such a good athlete and it will be the first time we've raced where we're kind of close. "Whenever I have raced her before she's been so far ahead. It will be interesting. The first match up will be in Lausanne. She's definitely made me a better athlete. I've learned a lot from her. I still think she's a league ahead, so we'll see."

Neeraj Chopra crosses 90-metre mark; throws 90.23 m in Doha Diamond league
Neeraj Chopra finally breached the elusive 90m frontier with a 90.23m throw but the trailblazing Indian had to settle for a second place behind Germany's Julian Weber in a dramatic men's javelin contest at the Doha leg of the prestigious Diamond League Meeting series on Friday. The 27-year-old double Olympic medallist Indian sent his spear to 90.23m in his third attempt to join a list of javelin throwers, led by his current coach Jan Zelezny of Czechia, who had recorded 90m-plus efforts. He became the third Asian and 25th overall to achieve the feat. However, Weber turned the tables and took the top spot with his sixth and final throw, measuring 91.06m. Chopra was leading before Weber's final attempt. It was Weber's first 90m-plus effort as well, and he became the 26th javelin thrower to breach the coveted mark. His effort was the world leading mark this season so far. Two-time world champion and Paris Olympics bronze medallist Anderson Peters of Grenada was third with his opening throw of 84.65m. Neeraj Chopra's top five best throws "I am very happy to have breached the 90m mark but it's a bitter-sweet experience," Chopra said later. "My coach Jan Zelezny said today is the day when I can throw 90m. The wind helps and weather is little warm and that helps. I also told Julian that we can throw 90m. I am also happy for him (Julian). "I believe I can throw farther than this in the coming events. We will work on some aspects and will throw 90m plus again this season," he added. The other Indian in the fray, Kishore Jena finished eighth with a below-par throw of 78.60m. Chopra began the contest with 88.44m, followed by a foul attempt. He then sent his spear past the elusive 90m mark to the collective sigh of relief of the whole country. His next three series were 80.56m, foul and 88.20m. He first competed in the Doha DL in 2018 when he finished fourth with a best throw of 87.43m. After winning gold in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, he took the title here in 2023 (88.67m) and finished second in 2024 (88.36m). Neeraj Chopra joins the 90M ???????????????? ???? ???? ????????
