Dina Asher-Smith in tears as she pulls out of 200 metres after failing to qualify for sprint final

Dina Asher-Smith’s Olympics appear to be over after she indicated she would withdraw from the 200 metres following her failure to qualify for the 100 metres final.

Asher-Smith is also in Great Britain’s squad for the 4 x 100 metres relay but it seems unlikely she will now compete.
