Dina Asher-Smith once watched up close as Jessica Ennis-Hill won Olympic heptathlon gold and now Britain’s greatest ever female sprinter hopes the roles will be reversed in Paris. Asher-Smith carried bags for athletes at the 2012 London Games and watched one of her heroines Ennis-Hill take the title on what became known by the hosts as ‘Super Saturday’ as Greg Rutherford won the long jump and Mo Farah the 10,000 metres.

Last chance to win Oly medal

At 28 this could be Asher-Smith’s last chance of securing an elusive Olympic individual medal at 100m or 200m. In a neat flip, Ennis-Hill will be watching from the BBC studio in the Stade de France.
