England's Dina Asher-Smith won gold in the 200m at the Jamaica Games Invitational in Kingston. Asher-Smith, 28, timed 22.51, pipping Ivory Coast's Jessika Gbai in second and Jamaica's Lanae-Tava Thomas in third.
Asher-Smith, a 200m title holder in 2019, will expect to add to her two Olympic 4x100m transfer bronzes at the Paris Games this late spring. "I'm looking good so I was expecting to get a speedier time today," said Asher-Smith. "Obviously I have some stuff that I must work on so I will return to Austin [Texas] and work on them, yet I'm glad to have won here in Jamaica."
In the men's 200m, Zharnel Hughes made it an English twofold by taking gold in 19.96, before American Fred Kerley and France's Pablo Mateo. Furthermore, England's Matt Hudson-Smith won gold in the 400m, completing in 44.69 before American Matthew Boling and Jamaica's Zandrion Barnes.
