Geraldina Rachel Asher-Smith MBE (born 4 December 1995) is a British sprinter internationally active since 2011. In 2019 she was the first British woman to win a World title in a sprint event.

The fastest British woman on record, she won a gold medal in the 200 metres, silver in the 100 metres and another silver in the 4×100 m relay at the 2019 World Championships, breaking her own British records with further records which still stand. Aged 24, Asher-Smith was the first Briton to win three medals at a World Championships. She earned a bronze in the 200 m at the 2022 World Championships. As part of 4×100 m relay teams, she won bronze medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and the silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics as well as medals at the 2013, 2017 and 2019 World Championships. Her highest Olympic finish individually was fourth in the 200 metres at the 2024 Games, missing a medal by two-hundredths of a second.

Asher-Smith won the 2013 European Junior 200 m title and the 2014 World Junior 100 m title. In July 2015, she became the first British woman to run under 11 seconds for the 100 m. She then broke Kathy Cook's 31-year-old British 200 m record when finishing fifth at the 2015 World Championships. In this distance, she placed fifth at the 2016 Olympics and fourth at the 2017 World Championships. Asher-Smith is also a four-time individual European champion, including the 200 m title in 2016 and the 100 m/200 m double in 2018, and earned a silver for the 200 m in 2022 before reclaiming the 100m title in 2024.

She was the 2019 Diamond League champion over 100 m.

Domestically, Asher-Smith has won nine national titles, indoors and out, over 60 metres, 100 metres and 200 metres as of 2024.

She is the British record holder for the 100 m and 200 m and the British indoor record holder for the 60 m. Asher-Smith has been listed in the Powerlist as one of the UK's most influential people of African-Caribbean descent, most recently in the 2021 edition.

Early life and education

Geraldina Rachel Asher-Smith was born on 4 December 1995 in Orpington, London. Her parents are Julie, who was born in London, and Winston, who was born in Jamaica but moved to England when he was a child. She has Jamaican and Trinidadian ancestry. She attended Perry Hall Primary School. From 2008 to 2014, she attended Newstead Wood School in Orpington. Asher-Smith achieved 9 A stars and 2 As in her GCSEs. In August 2014, she got 3 A-Levels which allowed her entry into King's College London to study history. Upon receiving the results, she called it "the best morning" of her life. Asher-Smith graduated with a BA in 2017. She is a supporter of Manchester United F.C.

Asher-Smith was coached by John Blackie until 2023. In 2009, she ran the 300 metres in 39.16 seconds to set the current world age 13 best. She has won the English Schools Championships 200 m title as an Under 15 (2010), U17 (2011) and U20 (2013). She won the 2013 event in a time of 23.63 s into a strong headwind.

Asher-Smith worked as a kit-bag carrier during the 2012 London Olympics, including on "Super Saturday".

Junior competitions

At the 2012 World Junior Championships, Asher-Smith finished seventh in the 200 m final in a then personal best time of 23.50 seconds. She said afterwards that "I am elated to have made the final and achieve a PB in the process, and I'm looking ahead to next year in Italy."

In 2013, she earned two gold medals at the European Junior Championships in Rieti, winning the 200 m in 23.29 s, before joining Yasmin Miller, Steffi Wilson and Desiree Henry to win the 4 × 100 m relay and break the UK junior record. The British squad originally finished fourth in the final but were promoted to the bronze medal after the disqualification of the French team. Asher-Smith was shortlisted for the 2013 BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.

At the 2014 World Junior Championships in Eugene, Asher-Smith won the 100 metres running 11.23 seconds.

Professional athletics career

Asher-Smith was part of the winning Great Britain team for the 4 × 100 m relay at the 2013 London Grand Prix meet and was the youngest athlete selected for the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Squad for the 2013 World Championships in Moscow. Along with teammates Annabelle Lewis, Ashleigh Nelson and Hayley Jones, she won a bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m relay.

At the 2014 European Athletics Championships in Zurich, she qualified for the 200 m final but pulled out with a hamstring injury on the bend.

She took the silver medal for the 60 m at the 2015 European Indoor Championships. It was the first time in 30 years that a British female won a medal in the event. In doing so, Asher-Smith equalled Jeanette Kwakye's British record of 7.08 s and, being 19 years old, became the fastest ever teenager at 60 m. She first broke the British 100 metres record with 11.02 s on 24 May in Hengelo, before becoming the first British woman to run a legal time under 11 seconds, with 10.99 s on 25 July at the London Anniversary Games. She then finished fifth in the 200 m at the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing with a time of 22.07 s, a new British record.

Asher-Smith won her first Diamond League at the 2016 BAUHAUS-galan in the 200 m. She won gold over the 200 m at the 2016 European Championships, clocking a time of 22.37 s in the final. She went on to win a silver in the 4 x 100 m relay. At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Asher-Smith finished fifth in the 200 metres, in a season's best of 22.31 seconds, then won a bronze medal with her teammates Asha Philip, Desiree Henry and Daryll Neita in the 4 x 100 m relay in a British record of 41.77 seconds.

On 17 February 2017, Asher-Smith broke her foot in a training accident, but still managed to secure fourth place in the women's 200 m and a silver medal as part of the Great Britain 4 × 100 m relay later that year at the World Championships in London.

In 2018, she went to Australia early to train and get used to the conditions prior to the Commonwealth Games scheduled to take place in Gold Coast, Queensland in that country. She qualified for the 200 m final, and came away with a bronze medal in a time off 22.29 seconds. England ladies, including Asher-Smith, qualified for the 4x100 m relay final, where they won gold in a time of 42.46 seconds, beating one of the favorites, Jamaica. She improved her British record in the 100 m to 10.92 s in placing second at the 2018 Oslo Diamond League. Three days later, she continued her good form by winning the Stockholm Diamond League in 10.93 s. At the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, Asher-Smith won both the 100 m and 200 m titles, improving her British records to 10.85 and 21.89 seconds respectively, becoming the first British woman in history to run below 22 seconds for 200 metres, and moving to 22nd on the 200 metres world all-time list (35th at 100 m). She won a third gold medal in the 4 × 100 m relay. Asher-Smith was named women's European Athlete of the Year for her success in October. She was later hailed by IAAF president Sebastian Coe as the next sprint sensation in athletics.

Asher-Smith went into the 2019 IAAF World Championships in fine form, winning over 200 m at the Doha and Stockholm Diamond Leagues, and over 100 m at the Diamond League final in Brussels in a time of 10.88 s. She also placed second over 100 m at the Rome, Lausanne and London Diamond Leagues in times of 10.94 s, 10.91 s and 10.92 s respectively. At the World Championships, she won the silver medal in the 100 m at the 2019 IAAF World Championships in a new British record of 10.83 seconds, finishing second behind only Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She was the first female British sprinter to win, over 100 m or 200 m, an individual medal in the world championships since Kathy Cook in 1983. On 2 October, she became the World Champion in the 200 m, setting a personal best and new British record of 22.16 seconds.

Going into the 2021 season, Asher-Smith was a strong medal favourite for the short sprints at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Her season was off to a promising start in May when she won the women's 100 m final at the Gateshead Diamond League against a world class field, besting athletes such as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Blessing Okagbare, Marie-Josée Ta Lou and Sha'Carri Richardson. She followed this up in late June when she won the 100 m final at the 2021 British Athletics Championships in a time of 10.97 seconds. The clock had originally reported 10.71 seconds, which would have been a substantial national record, however this was corrected a few minutes later. She came into the Olympics having gained selection in the 100 m, 200 m and 4 x 100 m relay, however failed to qualify for the 100 m final after placing third in her semifinal in a time of 11.05 seconds, which was not enough to gain a fastest non-automatic qualifying spot. Subsequently, she revealed in an emotional interview that she had actually sustained a hamstring injury during the finals of the British Championships, and that she would be pulling out of the 200 m. Nevertheless, she managed to return to contribute to the 4 x 100 m relay, aiding Great Britain in setting a new national record of 41.55 seconds in their heat, followed by a bronze medal in the final behind Jamaica and the United States. She later bounced back to end her 2021 campaign with a seasons best of 22.04 seconds in the 200 m at the Brussels Diamond League, also setting a seasons best of 10.87 seconds in placing second in the 100 m at the Diamond League Final in Zürich.

In 2022, Asher-Smith ran her first Diamond League of the season in Doha, placing third over 200 m behind Gabby Thomas and Shericka Jackson in a time of 22.37 s. She won the 100 m at the Birmingham Diamond League in a time of 11.11 s, narrowly beating out Shericka Jackson and Daryll Neita. At the 2022 British Athletics Championships, she was beaten by Neita in the 100 m. She recovered to win at the Stockholm Diamond League over 200 m, in a time of 22.37 s. At the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Asher-Smith placed fourth in the 100 m, equalling her British record of 10.83 s. She went on to win a bronze medal in the 200 m, having run her first sub-22 second 200 m since 2019 in the semi-finals. However, in the 4×100 m relay, Asher-Smith pulled up with an injury around the bend, whilst she finished her leg, Britain lost ground and finished sixth. In August, she competed at the European Championships, in the 100 m, Asher-Smith struggled with cramp as she pulled up after 60 m and finished eighth in the final. She bounced back to win silver in the 200 m, finishing behind Mujinga Kambundji.

On 27 January 2023, Asher-Smith broke the British record for the 60 m, running 7.04 s in Karlsruhe. She broke the record again on 25 February, running 7.03 s in the heats of the World Indoor Tour Final in Birmingham, she went on to win the final in 7.05 s. She won the 100 m at the 2023 British Championships in a time of 11.06 s. On 23 July, Asher-Smith ran 10.85 s in finishing second at the London Athletics Meet, this time was just 0.02 s off of her national record. At the 2023 World Athletics Championships after a season impacted by minor injuries, Asher-Smith finished eighth in the 100m final and seventh in the 200m. She later explained that a nerve problem had impacted her performance. In October 2023, she announced that her coaching partnership of 19 years with John Blackie would end. She moved her base to Austin, Texas where she would be guided by Edrick Floreal.

In 2024, Asher-Smith was selected for the British team at the 2024 European Championships, where she overcame a slow start to win the gold medal in the 100 m with a time of 10.99 s. She went on to win another gold medal as part of the 4×100 m relay team. After winning the gold medal in the 200 metres at the 2024 British Athletics Championships, Asher-Smith was subsequently named in the Great Britain team for the 2024 Summer Olympics. She was eliminated in the semi-final of the 100m having run 11.10 seconds, and she finished fourth in the 200m final in 22.22 seconds, narrowly denied the bronze medal by 2019 World Championship silver medallist Brittany Brown. Following the women's 200m final, she told BBC Sport: "I feel good. It's been a long week and I'm proud of that performance. It was a really strong field. All the girls, across them, had so many strengths , and I was really proud to have held my own." Despite not winning a medal in an individual event, she won a silver medal in the 4 x 100m relay, with teammates Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita. The team finished in 41.85 seconds. Following the Paris Olympics, Asher-Smith competed in the 100m at the Lausanne Diamond League, winning in a season's best time of 10.88 seconds—a time that would have won her the bronze medal in Paris. She continued her good form up by placing third over the same distance at the Zurich Diamond League. Asher-Smith ended her season at the Diamond League final in Brussels, placing second behing training-partner Julien Alfred in 10.92 s.

Other activities

Asher-Smith has modelled for Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Off-White, and in 2019 had a Barbie created in her likeness. The same year, she made a cameo appearance in the music video for the single "Black" by Dave.

In 2021, she was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Kent. She was made an MBE for contribution to athletics in the 2025 New Year Honours.
