• GB’s Asher Smith becomes queen of Europe in 10.85sec
• Zharnel Hughes sets championship record of 9.95sec
In a stadium suffused with history, and on a night broiling with heat and expectation, Dina Asher-Smith produced a performance for the ages to win the European Championships 100m title in a national record.
Her time of 10.85sec beat her British best by 0.07 – a extraordinary amount at this level – and, for good measure, also the fastest time of year.
