Finally, in the 200m, she clocked 24.28 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sourced from her performance page at World Athletics but when I checked Po10 they're not included and I've just had chance to cross reference the event's results for other British performances and she isn't listed there. Think I may have been taken in by WA's fake news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
