Inside Team GB athlete Dina Asher-Smith's life away from Olympics - mystery nerve problem to devastating split


As Dina Asher-Smith hopes to become the first British woman to win an Olympic gold in the 100m or 200m at the 2024 Paris Olympics, here's why you need to know about the Team GB star

With her position on the world’s stage this year, Dina’s career has come full circle after she worked as a kit-bag carrier at the 2012 London Olympics. Having accumulated an impressive medal collection while still in her twenties, Dina first began competing for Kent in the National Championships and running in the Commonwealth Youth Games during her teens, while also managing to gain 10 A* grades at GCSE. Despite excelling in the world of support, Dina used academia as an escape from training and secured a 2:1 in her history degree at King's College London.
