The fastest woman on the planet is crowned today in Tokyo. Can Team GB’s sprinting superstar Dina Asher-Smith deliver the goods?

Asher-Smith is aiming for a sprint double. After taking silver in the 100m at the 2019 World Championships, could she go one better today against the likes of two-time Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce?

Clare Balding and Alex Scott bring you the answer to that question and so much more exciting action, including the women’s tennis singles final.

With 21 gold medals on offer across the day, be prepared for a thrilling look back at the day’s action in the company of Clare and Alex.
