English sprinter Dina Asher-Smith has individual titles at World and European level but individual Commonwealth gold has so far evaded her. Birmingham will be the first time Firth’s main event - the S14 200m freestyle - has been included in the Commonwealth Games. “This is definitely the one that is missing,” Firth said of a Commonwealth gold medal.
