A first senior individual medal came in the Czech Republic with silver in the 60m at the European Indoor Championships. She was beaten to gold by Holland's Dafne Schippers despite a decent start. It says a lot for her development that Schippers has now been trailing Asher-Smith for over a year.

Asher-Smith bagged her first major individual outdoor medal with victory in the 200m at the European Championships. A run of 22.37 seconds – a season's best at the time – was enough to bring home the gold. It was the first of a double as she also won silver with the 4x100m relay squad.

Bronze over 200m at the Commonwealth Games may not, on the face of it, seem that attention-grabbing. But it was at the start of a stunning breakthrough 18 months which has led to her becoming one of the best in the world. Finishing behind winner Shaunae Miller-Uibo – who has not lost a race for over two years – is also nothing to be ashamed of. And gold was to follow in the sprint relay alongside Philip, Lorraine Ugan and Bianca Williams.
