TOKYO (Reuters) -Dina Asher-Smith recovered from her hamstring strain to help Britain to a national record of 41.55 seconds and into the Olympic 4x100 metres relay final as the fastest qualifiers on Thursday.
Asher-Smith withdrew from the 200m, where she is world champion, after being hampered by the injury in the 100, but she showed no ill-effects while running a superb third leg as Britain's crisp changeovers brought them home ahead of double defending champions the United States.
