A great achievement but the whole thing seemed to be contrived with a team of 42 pacemakers,a flat course and waiting for the weather conditions to be ideal.

Dina Asher-Smith has been named Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year for 2019.
The 23-year-old became the first British woman to win a major global sprint title when she stormed to victory in the 200m at the World Championships in Doha in October. It is the second successive year that Asher-Smith has claimed the accolade. |

The British Olympic Association says it is "dismayed" by the "ongoing legal tactics" of top athletes threatening to sue over sponsorship regulations.
Mo Farah, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Laura Muir and Adam Gemili are among those listed as claimants in a legal letter sent to the body. |
