Dina Asher-Smith on Amy Hunt, LA 2028 & REFUSING to Step Aside

Dina Asher-Smith has just made history as the most decorated athlete in European Championships history. An MBE, multiple major titles and four Olympic Games within reach, but at 30, one of Britain's greatest ever sprinters is still asking how much better she can become. In this episode, Dina opens up about the realities behind those 10 seconds on the track, from how her menstrual cycle affected her performance to competing through grief. She also reflects on leaving her coach of 20 years, rebuilding her career, and why bronze can sometimes mean more than gold. With the 2027 World Championships and LA 2028 ahead, Dina reveals how her relationship with success has changed, and why the opportunity to keep competing at the highest level now feels less like pressure and more like a privilege. 00:00 Britain’s Fastest Woman 02:50 Why Dina Doesn’t Count Her Medals 04:53 Why Winning Is Never Enough 11:09 Every Performance Is a Jigsaw Puzzle 16:23 What Still Drives Dina 24:00 When Your Teammate Becomes Your Rival 31:00 Handling Pressure When Things Go Wrong 37:15 Why Elite Performance Has to Hurt 41:16 Losing Her Grandmother 44:15 Five Days to Face Her Grief 51:19 When Bronze Means More Than Gold 52:48 The Female Athlete Problem Sport Still Ignores 58:26 The Coach Who Changed Her Life 1:02:20 Chasing Olympic Gold at LA 2028 1:06:30 Dina’s High Performance Rules 🚨 Partners AG1 👉 head to http://drinkag1.com/highperformance and get a free Morning Person Hat to help start your AG1 daily habit - plus a free D3 and K2, and five travel packs Ford 👉 Learn more about Ford Racing's historic return to F1 at Ford Racing: https://www.ford.co.uk/ford-racing Vitality 👉 We've partnered with Vitality because our philosophies align perfectly: healthy habits build high performance and can lead to a healthier, longer life.
