South London sprinters hoping to reach women’s 100m final

Two South Londoners are looking to reach the final of the women’s 100m final.

Team GB’s Dina Asher-Smith and Imani-Lara Lansiquot are among those targeting clinching a spot in the women’s 100m final at 8:20pm, with the semi-finals earlier that evening at 6:50pm.

Orpington’s Asher-Smith, Britain’s fastest female sprinter, is competing at her third Games and will be hoping to add an Olympic medal to the 100m European title she earned in earlier this year.

Lansiquot is from Peckham and finished third in her heat.
