Jamaican trio Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson rolled through the women's 100 metres heats at the World Championships on Saturday but it was Briton Dina Asher-Smith advancing with the quickest time.
Nearly a year since she produced the second-fastest 100m of all time at the springy Hayward Field, back-to-back Olympic sprint double champion Thompson-Herah won her heat in 11.15, easing up at the 60m mark.
The fastest time of the day went to Doha silver medallist Asher-Smith, who came within one hundredth of a second of the British record in 10.84. "I wasn't thinking about time but was happy to win my heat. I need to go and recover to run fast with the girls tomorrow. In this situation, you just have to think about winning, no matter what the time."
