Dina Asher-Smith of Great Britain defeated a strong field to win her first 100m race of the season in the Birmingham Diamond League competition. Daryll Neita of the United Kingdom was third in 11.14, with Gabby Thomas of the United States in fifth. “I’m hoping for my first sub-four this year, but I’m content to meet the World Championships mark early in the season,” the Scot added. Matt Hudson-Smith, who lives in the United States, returned to the Midlands and continued his strong start to the season by winning the 400m in 45.32 seconds. Jessica Judd, who qualified for the World Championships over 10,000m last weekend, ran a lifetime best of almost nine seconds in the 5,000m, finishing sixth behind Ethiopian winner Dawit Seyaum.
