Dina Asher-Smith: 100m Record, Medals, Net Worth & Personal Life

Ask anyone who follows British athletics to name the woman leading the sprint squad and the answer is immediate: Dina Asher-Smith. She has held the national 100m record at 10.83 seconds since September 2019 — the same meet where she became world champion over 200m — and this profile brings together her times, medals, friendships and rivalries, and the numbers that stay private.

World Championship Gold: 200m (2019) · 100m Personal Best: 10.83 seconds · Total World Medals: 6 · Birthplace: Orpington, London

Seven facts, one pattern: the headline numbers are verified against primary records, not gossip.

The read: her career is anchored in the 100m–200m range, and the medals have followed across three Olympic cycles.

What is Dina Asher-Smith’s 100m record?

The short answer: 10.83 seconds, set in Doha on 29 September 2019. It is also the British national record — and she has owned it since 2019.

What was her fastest 100m time?

• Fastest 100m: 10.83 seconds, 29 September 2019, Doha — the British record (World Athletics, athletics’ global governing body)
• Fastest 200m: 21.88 seconds, 2 October 2019, Doha — also the British record (World Athletics, athletics’ global governing body)
• The Doha double: 100m silver, then 200m gold three days later (GQ, UK culture and sport magazine)

What is Dina Asher-Smith’s 200m record?

200m record: 21.88s · Date: 2 Oct 2019 · Venue: Doha · Status: British record

• That run made her world champion over the distance — the breakthrough result of her career to that point.
• In 2016 she became the first British woman to win the European 200m title (Olympics.com, official Olympic channel)
• The 200m remains her strongest event by championship pedigree: European gold, world gold, and a British record.

How does her 100m time compare to her peers?

100m PB: 10.83 · 200m PB: 21.88 · Doha 2019: 100m silver, 200m gold

• Against British history, no woman has run faster in either event.
• At the 2019 World Championships, that 10.83 was the second-fastest time in the final.
• Against the era’s global elite — Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Sha’Carri Richardson — 10.83 keeps her in medal contention, while the very fastest women of the era have gone quicker.

What this means: her records aren’t career statistics — they’re the exact performances that turned a nationally promising sprinter into a global champion in the space of one week.

Are Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith friends?

They have shared relay legs, podiums and starting lines for years, so the question is fair. The honest answer is layered: teammates, rivals, and clearly friendly — with the private parts kept private.

What is their training dynamic?

• At major championships, they alternate between individual opponents and 4x100m relay teammates.
• Both have been part of the British relay units that took Olympic bronze in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021 (GQ, UK culture and sport magazine; BBC Sport, UK public broadcaster)
• Their public interactions — social media exchanges, mixed-zone interviews — read as genuinely warm, not performative.

Are they competitive rivals on the track?

• In domestic and European finals, they are direct competition, usually racing in adjacent lanes.
• Their public comments about each other stay consistently supportive; nothing suggests the rivalry strains the friendship.

Do they live near each other?

The trade-off: fans want a tidy “best friends” story, but the evidence supports something more durable — two elite competitors who figured out how to make each other faster.

What is Dina Asher-Smith’s net worth?

The short answer is unsatisfying but honest: no verified figure exists. Estimates circulate between £1 million and £2 million, and every one of them is an estimate.

What endorsements does Dina Asher-Smith have?

• Her commercial representation runs through PACE Sports Management, which lists her among its athlete roster (PACE Sports Management, her management agency)
• Prize money from world, European and Commonwealth titles forms the performance base of her earnings.
• Sponsorship contracts are not disclosed in the sources verified for this profile.

How does her net worth compare to other British athletes?

In short, comparisons are entertainment, not analysis.

Is Dina Asher-Smith one of the best paid female athletes?

• Track-and-field prize money is modest next to global mainstream sports, so rankings depend almost entirely on sponsorship income.
• With a world title and two Olympic medals she is marketable — but precise earnings are private.

Why this matters: the financial story is the least documented part of her career. Treat any impressive number you see as an estimate until an official figure appears. A related profile pulls her records, relationships and the same numbers together (Dina Asher-Smith’s records and personal life).

Who is Amy Hunt?

Amy Hunt is the British sprinter most often named as the next chapter of the story Asher-Smith started. The comparison says more about Asher-Smith’s template than about Hunt’s times.

What is Amy Hunt’s connection to Dina Asher-Smith?

• Hunt is a young British sprinter whose early results have drawn constant comparisons to Asher-Smith.
• Asher-Smith’s own path — a senior World debut at 17 in 2013 — is the template Hunt is being measured against (RunBlogRun, independent athletics outlet)

How does Amy Hunt’s 100m time compare?

• Head-to-head times aren’t meaningfully comparable yet: Hunt hasn’t raced the same championship rounds against the same senior fields.
• Asher-Smith’s 10.83 took years of senior competition to reach; fast junior times still have to be converted at senior level.

Is Amy Hunt the next Dina Asher-Smith?

The implication: British sprinting’s next golden era depends on whether Hunt and her peers convert junior promise into senior medals — the metric that actually defined Asher-Smith. For a deeper look at the comparisons, see her full profile (Dina Asher-Smith’s profile and personal bests).

What are Dina Asher-Smith’s medals?

Medal count, short version: six World Championship medals and two Olympic bronzes, with the individual global gold arriving in 2019.

How many Olympic medals does she have?

• Two Olympic medals, both bronze in the 4x100m relay: Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021 (GQ, UK culture and sport magazine; BBC Sport, UK public broadcaster)
• Individual Olympic best: fifth place in the 200m at Rio 2016.
• She has not yet won an individual Olympic medal — the 2019 world gold remains her individual peak.

World Championship medals list

• 2013 Moscow: bronze in the 4x100m relay (GQ, UK culture and sport magazine)
• 2019 Doha: gold in the 200m and silver in the 100m.
• Total: six World Championship medals across her career.

Commonwealth Games medals

• 2018 Gold Coast: double gold in the 100m and 200m (Olympics.com, official Olympic channel)
• European level: 2018 Berlin brought three golds — 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.

The reading: her Olympic medals are relay medals, but her deepest individual peak — the 2019 double — proves she can win on her own. The obvious gap is an individual Olympic medal.

Career results that mattered

Six championship appearances, one throughline: every completed final has ended in a medal or a top-five place.

The pattern: her career didn’t climb in a straight line — it stepped: fifth, fifth, then a European treble, then a world double. That is a champion built on years of near-misses.

Personal bests by event

Six marks, one split: the 100m and 200m are British records; the rest fill out a complete sprint profile.

The takeaway: her range — from indoor 60m to a 52-second 400m — is wider than most 100m/200m specialists manage, which is part of why relays suit her.

• 2024 — Paris Olympics appearance.

The arc: early promise, a setback in 2014, two fifth-place finishes, then a rapid climb to the top of the world — all before she turned 25.

What’s confirmed, what’s unclear

The verified record is unusually clean: World Athletics, the global governing body, documents both national records; her official website confirms them; and GQ’s long-form interview covers the medal history.

Confirmed

• 100m British record: 10.83 seconds (World Athletics, athletics’ global governing body)
• 200m British record: 21.88 seconds (World Athletics, athletics’ global governing body)
• 2019 World 200m title in Doha (GQ, UK culture and sport magazine)
• Olympic relay bronzes in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021 (BBC Sport, UK public broadcaster)

Still unclear

• Exact net worth: estimates land at £1–2 million, with no official confirmation
• Current relationship status
• Injury details beyond the documented Tokyo withdrawal
• Relay record discrepancy: official site lists 41.77, World Athletics lists 41.55
• Whether Amy Hunt becomes the next British sprint star

The picture that emerges is of an athlete whose public record is well-documented, while the private details remain her own.

Career reflections

Her Tokyo story, as BBC Sport reported it: injury forced her out of the individual 100m and 200m, and a relay bronze gave the Games a finishing medal.

Team England’s official profile frames the same arc: teenager at the 2013 Worlds, European champion in 2016, double European and Commonwealth champion in 2018, world champion in 2019.

GQ’s interview traced the line through setbacks — the 2014 injury, two fifth-place finishes — that preceded the Doha breakthrough, a reminder that the record run came after years of near-misses.
