Posted by: Watch Athletics

Dina Asher-Smith and Zharnel Hughes were crowned British 100m champions on Saturday (8).

The 2019 200m World Champion, Dina Asher-Smith, took the women's 100m title at the British Athletics Championships after Zharnel Hughes claimed men's 100m gold in pouring rain in Manchester.

Hughes, the world leader and British record holder in the 100m at 9.83 seconds, clocked 10.03, with Reece Prescod (10.14) second and Eugene Amo-Dadzie (10.18) third. Due to torrential rain, the women's race was delayed by 30 minutes.

"I came away with the win," he told BBC after his win in Manchester. "It means everything to me to be British champion.

"I worked for this and prepared for this. I train in these conditions, sometimes in Jamaica, but I am soaked - these conditions are the most awful ever."

Following the rain, Asher-Smith won easily in 11.06 ahead of Imani Lansiquot (11.26) and Bianca Williams (11.29).

"It has been a very British day, a very northern day," said Asher-Smith. "Welcome to England's north!
