Dina Asher-Smith: Why Britain's Fastest Woman Feels Unaware of Her Achievements (E435)

You are now. Britain's fastest woman. You're a world champion. You're an Olympic medalist. I love medals. Eight of them are gold.

I'm still next to the real life girl, man. She's the most decorated European athlete in history. If you want to achieve greatness, it's going to hurt. And when you've only got 10 seconds to do your job, at any even a tenth of a second that's spent thinking about something else, you need to just be focused absolutely on what you're doing. 2022 was a crazy year in my life. It was horrid. I had to do so much psychological work coming into that because the pain to to let go, I was in so much emotional pain. And to let go of that emotional pain that I would have cried. But when you're racing you can't cry. Dean Russia Smith.

Back on high performance. I am, hi. This time in person. Definitely. It was nice over Zoom. It's even better like this. Much better like this. That time in Zoom was a crazy time for everyone, so I'm really happy to be here in real life. Good. Well, this is also a crazy time for you once again, because you now have a place that no athlete in European championship history has ever occupied before, and we are surrounded by Your medals, they're all around us, here they are. There's about nine hundred million more medals at your house, your parents house, everywhere else where they live. But you are now. Britain's fastest woman.
