Thomas Clinches 200m Title as Asher-Smith & Neita Fall Short.

Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita narrowly missed the Olympic 200m podium, finishing just three-hundredths of a second short, as Gabby Thomas took the gold.

Asher-Smith finished fourth in 22.22, while Neita was fifth in 22.23. Julien Alfred took silver with 22.08, and Brittany Brown earned bronze with 22.20.
