" am really happy to have finished second in that race although having said that, I am a competitor so obviously, I want to win every race. To maintain my form and finish strongly against arguably the best 400m runner in the world is good so all in all, I am happy with that race.

"When I am on the start line I always try to pick off the girls outside me to hunt down but I remember looking today and thinking if I can get any of those women today it would be a blessing. Normally I think I want to be ahead of this one by 60m, this one by 80m but today I looked and thought it is what it is. And that doesn't happen too often which is a testament to the meet organisers for getting that field together for today," Dina Asher-Smith
