Dina said after the race “I’ve worked so hard for this and hopefully I’ll go onto bigger things. I thought ‘this is your time to go’ and I came away with a PB and national record. I’d have loved to win today but Shelly-Anne is an absolute legend and I’m happy. For me, it’s always been to stay focused and keep my eye on the prize. I’ve not done100m at a world champs before so it was a new experience for me at this level and I couldn’t have done it without my coaching team.”
