Dina Asher-Smith made an impressive return to competition as she equalled her personal best in winning the women’s 60m at the World Indoor Tour in Karlsruhe. It was the 25-year-old’s first taste of international competition since she won the world 200m title in Doha in October 2019. Asher-Smith crossed the line in a time of 7.08sec ahead of Orlann Ombissa-Dzangue of France, while her teammate and current British record holder Asha Philip finished fifth. Earlier, Asher-Smith had cruised through her semi-final heat in 7.11sec in her first indoor race for three years. After taking last year off from competition, she is now set to step up her preparations for the delayed Tokyo Olympics. Asher-Smith is scheduled to move on to race in Düsseldorf on Sunday, and also compete in France with a view to potentially racing in the European Indoors in Poland in March.
