When Orla Met Dina Asher-Smith

Season 2, Episode 3,   Dec 29, 2018, 09:51 AM

When Orla Met…Dina Asher-Smith is a fascinating insight into the workings of a truly remarkable young woman. A history graduate from King’s College London, a darling of the fashion world who has walked Paris Fashion Week and appeared in British Vogue, and the joint-fastest woman in the world over 100m, Asher-Smith is so much more than ‘just’ a track and field athlete. In this episode, the three-time European champion talks about the lessons of American history, the need for more women in sports journalism, and her desire to break free of any mould that may have been set for her. She also talks about her record-breaking year on the track, building to the next Olympic Games, and her ambition to “run in a straight line” as fast as she possibly can!
