Dina Asher-Smith became the first British woman to win an individual World Championships sprint medal in 36 years as she claimed silver in the 100m final with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce taking gold.
It is the 23-year-old’s first major global medal outdoors with the 200m to follow, where she is a strong contender for gold.
Fraser-Pryce, 32, powered to 10.71 seconds for her eighth world title while Asher-Smith’s 10.83 is a new British record.
Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou took bronze.

British athletics has waited a long time for someone to emulate the achievement of Kathy Cook, who won 200m bronze in the inaugural World Athletics Championships, back in 1983 in Helsinki.
Few showed the potential to do so in the intervening years before Asher-Smith’s emergence. The Kent-born athlete was a double European junior gold medallist in 2013, before taking the world junior 100m title the following year.
She grew in stature when she became the first British women to dip under 11 seconds in 2015 before winning the European 100m title in 2016.
Relay medals followed at world and Olympic level before she showed her teeth by winning three European golds last year.
Expectations grew of what she could now achieve at world and Olympic level, but prior to the competition Asher-Smith told BBC Sport that she avoided making any predictions public – stating that her aims were only shared by those close to her, including her long-time coach John Blackie.
Her tunnel vision and mental fortitude took her to a different level this season, and she has now been rewarded with world 100m silver.
Asher-Smith is now aiming to win a further two medals – in the 200m and 4x100m relay.
Bradshaw just misses out on medal
Holly Bradshaw has jumped 4.87m indoors
In the women’s pole vault final, European bronze medallist Holly Bradshaw just missed out on a first global outdoor medal, finishing fourth with a best clearance of 4.80m – just 1cm below her British record.
She twice failed at 4.85m, and then with a last-ditch attempt at 4.90m.
The gold was won by Russian Anzhelika Sidorova, under the Authorised Neutral Athlete flag, with 4.95m. USA’s Sandi Morris took silver and Katerina Stefanidi claimed bronze.
Meanwhile, American athletics great Allyson Felix claimed her 12th world title as her quartet won the first 4x400m mixed relay final at a World Championships.
The 33-year-old, who only returned to competitive racing earlier in September 10 months after giving birth to her first child by emergency caesarean, ran the second leg as USA won in a world record time of three minutes 09.34 seconds. Jamaica claimed silver and Bahrain took bronze.
Great Britain’s team of Rabah Yousif, Zoey Clark, Emily Diamond and Martyn Rooney finished fourth.
Meanwhile, it was also a good day for Britain’s male sprinters as Adam Gemili, Miguel Francis and Zharnel Hughes all qualified for Monday’s 200m semi-finals.
Gemili, 25, won his heat in 20.06 – his fastest for three years and his fourth quickest ever – and said the display was “a bit of redemption” for narrowly failing to reach the 100m final.
“To mentally park [yesterday] for the moment was difficult, but I’ve been working a lot on my psychology,” said Gemili, who was edged out in a photo-finish on Saturday.
“I wanted to get a good semi-final so hopefully this has guaranteed that. A bit of redemption for yesterday because I feel like a let a lot of people down, which was disappointing for me.”
Francis, the fastest Briton this year having run 19.97 in London, and Hughes, fresh from coming sixth in the 100m final, both eased through.
European 100m champion Hughes, who ran a modest 20.24 in finishing second, said: “Last night I didn’t get any sleep as I was held up by anti-doping so I fell asleep about 4am this morning and then I had to be up for 8am. I know once I get back to warm-up, get an ice bath, I’ll be OK.”
The event’s outstanding favourite Noah Lyles of the USA, whose 19.50 seconds in Lausanne this year was the fourth fastest ever, was in third gear as he came second in his heat in 20.26.
There will be no British representation in the 800m final with Elliott Giles, Jamie Webb and Kyle Langford all falling short in the semi-finals.
Elsewhere, USA’s Christian Taylor won an incredible fourth triple jump title with a fifth-round effort of 17.92m. Compatriot Will Claye was second with 17.74m and there was a first major medal for Burundi’s Hugues Fabrice Zango, who clinched bronze with 17.66m – an African record.
The women’s 20km walk was due to begin at 23:59 local time.

Fraser-Pryce Facilitates Waterhouse Scholarships

Fraser-Pryce Facilitates Waterhouse Scholarships
With two Olympic, seven World titles and the joint-fourth fastest 100-metre times in history, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, over the past decade, has built a legacy as one of the best female sprinters in history.
Over that same period, she has also steadily built an equally powerful legacy as a humanitarian.
Ten students from the impoverished Waterhouse community will, this academic year, benefit from academic scholarships valued at just under $500,000, courtesy of the elite athlete through her Hugh Senior Scholarship Awards.
The money was raised from a 5K Run/Walk the athlete staged in her community on April 14 in honour of the late pastor of the Penwood Church of Christ. Senior died in September 2017.
“I speak with two different emotions; one of happiness for these kids, and one of sadness for the passing of a great man. Growing up in this church, I have always seen the efforts of Pastor Senior reaching out to help the less fortunate children and trying to ensure they get the basic opportunity of attending primary, high school or college,” said Fraser-Pryce who is still a member of the church.
“Under the umbrella of this church, many outreach activities have been established to assist community members. I will host this race annually in honour of his name and in an effort to assist those among us along the way to achieving their personal goals.”
Brent Dacosta is to be awarded a grant of $150,000 to attend the University of Technology as one of the first 10 beneficiaries. Fraser-Pryce is an alumnus of UTech.
Meanwhile, Andre Mason, Christina Hanson, Alaina McIntosh, Kayla McDonald and Amalie Thompson will receive $45,000 grants towards their high school education.
Cameron Miller, Makeba Haughton, and Dania Taylor will receive $30,000-grants towards their primary school education while Antoine Scott gets $20,000 towards his early childhood education.
The grants will be awarded at a ceremony at the Penwood Church of Christ in Waterhouse on Sunday, September 2.
The second staging of this SFP/Hugh Senior 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday January 19, 2019, inside the Waterhouse community.
Waterhouse has benefitted in other ways from the Fraser-Pryce’s largesse.
In May, she opened the newly refurbished Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Resource Centre that will be a refuge for more than 400 students, who will use it as a skills-training facility and play area. It will also serve as a homework and study centre.
The Digicel Foundation refurbished the centre at a cost of $5.7 million. Digicel’s sponsors the seven-time world champion.
