DINA ASHER-SMITH: Best Sprinter In The World 2018

Bad wording, but you understood. I'll rewrite it so you can't pretend not to understand:

Regarding the best sprinter at 100m this year: Clearly Ta Lou.

Who is the fastest sprinter at 100m right now? Probably Dina. DL will tell.

To add: Whos the best sprinter? Dina (100+200)

Regarding the other poster, I'm not him. Except the brits though? Europe care. Germany care, Scandinavia care etc. Theres no reason to behave like a fool just because you disagree with him.

"This thread is simply a homer thread with no facts....trump style."

Your behaviour is straight out of Trumps playbook.

I agree that Ta Lou is at least equal if not better that Asher-Smith simply beacause unlike Dina Asher-Smith, she did not need to "peak" to run 10"85, she did these times nearly casually while the other had to reach her peak.

It is basically an off year for Ta lou since other continental championships do not have the same prestige than the Euros. Her main focus was probably the World indoor which were in march.

What time has Ta Lou run for the 200m in 2018? What about Ahouré?

Oh that's right! Nowhere near as fast as Dina. In fact no other woman has run sub 22 in 2018

... only Dina!

And she is also the fastest woman over 100m in 2018.

And lets not forget all of these came after running rounds and doubling up in 2 events plus the relay... and taking GOLD and WORLD LEADS in every single one.

Therefore DINA is the best sprinter in the world right now.

*drops mic*

Don't expect Dina to win the 200m in Birmingham this weekend because, according to a poster on a rival site, traditionally, European Champ winners don't do well in the first big meet following there Euro success.

Dina, for example, has been hitting the media hard this week and has been seen everywhere.

But, I guess Birmingham gives her some sort of home advantage, and I she will be very keen to do well in front of the Brits. We will see.

why do yo keep saying this when it is 100 percent wrong.

ta lou ran 10.84 in doha and it was adjusted to 10:85, so her and dina share the world lead, which is clearly stated on IAAFs website.

Do you know what share the WL means?

You're not mentally sound.

INACCURATE!

Dina and Ta Lou may have run the same time... but it is obvious to anyone who understands Track and Field, and especially to someone who truly understands sprinting, that DINA has run the fastest 100m in 2018.

Oh and you might not have realised.... Dina has also run the fastest 200m and 4x100m in 2018!

DINA really is the best sprinter in the world in 2018

Bow down before your new sprinting goddess scorpion_runner!

This weekend in Birmingham will be a massive event! We should see some hot sprinting showdowns.

Let's just hope that British weather doesn't dampen our spirits or the fast times

Bottom line: DAS is boring.

Ahoure, Ta Lou, Schippers, Thompson, Okagbare, Prandini, Washington, , Luckenkemper, Bowie are all more interesting to me.

DAS is just plain boring, like Tim Montgomery was back in the day, even though he was the WR-holder at 9.78

Boring.

She is more likely to win the event based on the home court advantage. Her "win" in Berlin was a tactical move of the British Athletics to posit themselves in the female sprinting arena. Dina is their one and only hope. But we will see next year in Doha.

I'm most interested in Schippers and Prandini -- the fastest CLEAN sprinters on Earth.

Prediction!

In the Diamond League final, Dina will win, and win by a margin. The fact that she came second after the tiring week she has had is terrific. But, now with 10 days, or whatever, to prepare for the next Diamond League meeting, she will be in tip-top shape.

It's a sad fact but I bet Dina had more national media attention after her Euro wins and any US female sprinter has ever had after Olympic/World Championship win.

BTW, what's this "boring" claim?

What part of Dina is boring?

Her running? Her beautiful bouncy interviews? Her looks...surely not.

I don't get this "boring" accusation at all.

Could not have worded this any better if i wrote it myself!

Careful Portsea, people will start accusing you of being the same poster....

DINA is FANTASTIC

She just lost to a girl who is undefeated.

If they race over 200m again this season, she won't remain undefeated!

So what have we learned: DINA ASHER SMITH IS NOT THE BEST at 200m. Miller has beaten her 3 times this year - She is 3-0 against her.

And Dina Ashner Smith is not the best at 100m, because Ta Lou is undefeated against her as well.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Your original excuse was that races before the Euros didn't matter , because Dina wasn't focused on them. I'm sure your excuse is going to be that she is now tired, since she raced at the Euros .....

^This

True, true, and true.

But she is still boring.

There is nothing in particular about her that is interesting. If she was a colour, she would be beige.

Dinah is without a doubt one of the best in the world at 100 and 200. She has the world lead in both events, and has been rounding into form all season.

Dinah was clearly tired in Birmingham so the comparison against Miller there is difficult. Dinah has a good chance of beating Ta-Lou in her recent form.

It's difficult to compare non-European to European athletes this season, so we will have to wait until next year to see how she truly stacks up to the rest of the world.
