The stars gone - then the British became historic

In a somewhat, at least with Swedish eyes, less hot World Cup day, the women's 200 meters final was the big highlight in advance.

When double world champion Dafne Schippers injured his thigh, Jamaican sprint queen Shelly-Ann Frasier-Price didn't even line up, and world fool Blessing Okagbare was suddenly disrupted, Dina Asher-Smith, already a silver medalist at 100 meters, big favorite at 200 meters.

In the final she showed why. The European champion is now also world champion after a new British record, the second fastest time of the year, a superior performance. This means that she is the first British world champion in the distance.

Two Brittany Brown, USA, was nowhere near threatening despite striking out a new personal best of 22.22. Bronze tricks Mujinga Kambundji from Switzerland.
