- GB women’s 4x100m team set national record in heats
- USA men’s relay team crash out and face criticism
After a summer of tears and torment, Dina Asher-Smith could yet leave Tokyo with a gold medal after Britain’s 4x100m relay woman ran the fastest ever heat at an Olympics – and set a national record in the process.
With Asha Philip, Imani-Lara Lansiquot and Daryll Neita also producing strong performances as the British team crossed the line in 41.55 sec – faster than the gold-medal-winning times at all but two editions of the Olympic Games.
