One of the biggest stars of the World Athletics Tour tournament with a silver label in Belgrade, Dina Asher-Smith won the 60m sprint in the Serbian capital tonight. The Briton, who has a career 200m world title, won by 7.13 sec after running 7.12 sec in the heats.
The runners, however, started four times, as two of the participants – the Israeli Diana Vaisman and Serbian Milana Tirnanic, were disqualified. After starting well the first three times, in the fourth Dina Asher-Smith had the slowest start reaction of all the finalists (0.182).
The Cypriot Olivia Fotopoulou finished second in the 60m tonight with a personal best of 7.27 sec, and the Greek Polyniki Emmanouilidou came third with a personal record of 7.30 sec.
