Dina Asher-Smith Competes in UK Athletics Championships

Dina Asher-Smith is set to compete in the women's 100m and 200m sprints at the UK Athletics Championships. The event will feature top athletes, including Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita, as they battle for national titles and European Championships places.

What's at stake?

The UK Athletics Championships offer a chance for athletes to secure places at the European Athletics Championships in August. Athletes must win their event and achieve the European qualifying standard to book their place.

Key competitors

Dina Asher-Smith will face tough competition from Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita in the women's 100m and 200m sprints. Other notable athletes competing include Zharnel Hughes, Jeremiah Azu, and Romell Glave in the men's 100m.

European Championships qualification

Izzy Fry and Joe Wigfield have already qualified for the European Championships by winning the 10,000m trial races in Loughborough in May. Dina Asher-Smith, along with other British athletes, will be looking to secure their place at the European Championships. The women's 4x100m relay team and the women's half marathon team won gold medals at the last Europeans in Rome in 2024.

Upcoming events

After the UK Athletics Championships, Dina Asher-Smith will be focusing on upcoming events, including the European Athletics Championships in August. Keely Hodgkinson, the Olympic 800m champion, will also be competing in the women's 400m at the UK Athletics Championships. Hodgkinson started her outdoor season with a 400m personal best time of 51.14 seconds at the Rome Diamond League meeting in June.
