Dina Asher-Smith is the fastest British woman in recorded history, an Olympic medallist and the 2019 World Champion at 200 metres.

Follow her inspirational story from her lunchtime running club at primary school to the bright lights of the international stage. Katarina Johnson-Thompson is a British heptathlete and won gold in the 2019 World Championships with a British record of 6,981 points.
