TEAM GB have broken an athletic milestone in the 4x100m women’s relay heat.

The British athletes smashed the national record and were the fastest qualifiers for the finals at the Tokyo Olympics. On Thursday, the UK team smashed the competition with a speedy 41.55 seconds.Dina Asher-Smith, who had been injured and unable to participate in the 200m sprint, recovered and helped her team reach the finals.

“There was never any doubt in my mind that I’d be lining up here today because the relay is so important, and we won bronze in Rio,” Asher-Smith told Reuters.
“These ladies are in great shape, they’re incredibly talented, so I knew I had to rest up and get ready for the team event.”
Both anchor-leg and Asher-Smith Daryll Neita is the only woman British athlete to break the 11-second mark.
