Dina Asher-Smith: Sprint Records, Height, Age and FAQs

Born: 4 December 1995 · Height: 164 cm · 100m PB: 10.83 sec · 200m PB: 21.88 sec · Olympic medals: 1 silver · European 100m: Gold, Berlin 2018

Eight facts, one pattern: the durable numbers are the ones on the officials’ database, not the ones circulating in comments sections.

Who are some current British female sprinters?

Dina Asher-Smith is part of a British women’s sprint squad with real depth. BBC Sport’s athletics coverage has repeatedly grouped her with Daryll Neita and Amy Hunt in global championship semi-finals, making the 100m as much a team story as an individual one.

Is Amy Hunt faster than Dina Asher-Smith?

The nuance: Asher-Smith’s records are the line Hunt is chasing, but “who is faster today” is a question the stopwatch answers, not a comment section.

Who is the fastest British woman in history?

The fastest British woman in recorded history is Dina Asher-Smith, according to the athlete’s own official biography. The governing body’s database agrees: World Athletics lists her 100m record at 10.83 seconds and her 200m record at 21.88 seconds.

• Broke Montell Douglas’s previous 100m record of 11.05 seconds in 2015 (BBC Sport)
• Broke Kathy Cook’s 31-year-old 200m record at the 2015 World Championships (Royal Albert Hall Archives)
• First British woman under 11 seconds for 100m (BBC Sport)

What the record book says, the stopwatch has already settled; the next challenge is not rhetorical.

What is Dina Asher-Smith’s fastest 100m time?

Her fastest 100m time is 10.83 seconds, set at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, according to World Athletics and the Olympics.com profile. Her 200m personal best is 21.88 seconds. She was also the first British woman to run the 100m in under 11 seconds, doing so in 2015, per BBC Sport.

The target is public, measurable and still changing the conversation around British women’s sprinting.

How tall is Dina Asher-Smith?

The profile used to track her Olympic results lists her height at 164 cm and race weight at 55 kg (Olympics.com). That puts her in a compact-but-explosive frame, consistent with the sprint events she runs.

How old is Dina Asher-Smith?

• Born 4 December 1995 in Orpington, England (Olympics.com)
• Full name: Geraldina Rachel ‘Dina’ Asher-Smith (Official site)
• 2013 World Championships: youngest member of GB and NI team (King’s College London)

What are some interesting facts about Dina Asher-Smith?

• First British woman to break 11 seconds in the 100m (BBC Sport)
• Won European junior 200m and 4x100m relay titles in 2013 (King’s College London)
• Won the World Junior 100m title in 2014 (Olympics.com)

The pattern: Asher-Smith’s numbers are consistent. She was fast as a junior, fast as a senior, and the record book shows both phases.

Is Dina Asher-Smith Jamaican?

No. Official profiles list her place of birth as Orpington, England, and her nationality as British (Olympics.com). No official sports database consulted for this guide places her outside British nationality.

Is Dina Asher-Smith in a relationship?

How rich is Dina Asher-Smith?

• Net worth is not listed on the World Athletics database (World Athletics)
• No verified income figure appears in the official athletics records used here (World Athletics)

The trade-off: fans want personal details, but the institutions that verify performance don’t track them. That leaves a vacuum where guesses live.

Are Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith friends?

Teammates, yes. Privately close friends? There is no official statement to confirm that. The two British sprinters regularly appear in the same 100m and relay pools, and BBC Sport has covered them as part of a British trio. The implication: the squad works together on the track before we know anything else about their friendship.

Three markers, one pattern: Dina’s records are now the reference line for British women’s sprinting.

The pattern: verified performance data, not rumour, is what separates one era of British sprinting from the next.

If your next question starts with “how fast,” the answers all land in one career record card.

The record card above is the same one cited throughout this guide; the timing data is the part that resists speculation.

Career timeline

• 4 December 1995: Born in Orpington, England (Olympics.com)
• 2013: Youngest member of GB and NI at the World Championships (King’s College London)
• 2015: First British woman under 11 seconds in the 100m (BBC Sport)

• Recent: Left the US and returned to London after a 200m British win (Athletics Weekly)

The timeline shows a long, consistent build: junior gold, European titles, and then national records that still anchor the conversation.

Confirmed facts vs. what’s still unclear

Confirmed facts

• Born 4 December 1995 in Orpington, England (Olympics.com)
• 100m record 10.83 and 200m record 21.88 (World Athletics)
• 2018 European 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold (Olympics.com)
• 2019 World 200m title (Olympics.com)

What’s unclear

• Exact net worth: not listed on the World Athletics database (World Athletics)
• Current relationship status: no confirmation in official sports databases (Official site)
• Whether Amy Hunt is currently faster: needs official season bests (World Athletics)
• Whether she and Daryll Neita are close friends: no official statement exists (BBC Sport)

The split is deliberate: what is measured stays in the confirmed column, and what is not measured stays out.

What the sources say

The official database lists Dina Asher-Smith’s 100m national record as 10.83 seconds and her 200m national record as 21.88 seconds.

— World Athletics, the global governing body

Asher-Smith won 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin.

— Olympics.com, the IOC’s athlete profile

She was the first British female sprinter to run the 100m in under 11 seconds.

— BBC Sport, UK sports coverage

All three sources point the same way: official data for the marks, editorial coverage for the context, and no confirmed record for personal-life claims.

Where this leaves British sprinting

Dina Asher-Smith’s records put her at the center of British women’s sprinting, and the depth around her — Daryll Neita, Amy Hunt and the next wave — means those records will be tested. For British athletics fans, the choice is clear: trust official stopwatch data and treat personal-life chatter as noise, or you’ll end up debating fiction instead of sprinting.
