But having run a season's best to get through the final, she knocked another half a second off her semi-final time as the Nethlerlands' Schippers held off Marie-Josee Ta Lou for gold with Shaunee Miller-Uibo coming through for bronze in London. The great Brittney Reese won her fourth world long jump title in a thrilling final where the top four women were covered by only six centimetres. There was disappointment for Britain's Lorraine Ugen, who had set the third biggest mark in qualifying but began with two fouls and had to settle for fifth with her fourth-round 6.72m. But her compatriot Lynsey Sharp successfully appealed an initial disqualification to be dramatically reinstated into Saturday's 800m final. Asher-Smith's finish was the fifth fourth place Great Britain have taken at these Worlds, Mo Farah's 10,000m gold on the first night the only medal they have won in the eight days so far. Yet it would be hard to describe any of those individual results as a disappointment, and Asher-Smith was delighted to rescue something from a season that appeared wrecked. "I was so happy to be here and just told myself to go out fast," she told BBC Sport. "The crowd were getting louder and louder so I knew I was doing well, and I kept going for it. "I'm frustrated, but quite happy to have run like that having broken my foot this year." Schippers ran a season's best of 22.05 seconds as her strength down the home straight held off Ivorian Ta Lou, who also had to settle for silver in the 100m. Miller-Uibo of Bahamas led the 400m until stumbling in the final few strides, but this was at least a little consolation for a gold that slipped away when it appeared hers. Two-time world 110m hurdles champion Colin Jackson Dina Asher-Smith is something incredible. The amount she has had to battle, both mentally and physically, is unbelievable. 22.22 seconds! I cannot describe to everybody how impressive that was. She will be disappointed, but how much work she has missed over the summer with the broken foot... She loves this event. It was an unbelievable performance through the rounds.

After Darya Klishina - competing here as a neutral athlete after being cleared by the IAAF doping review board to circumvent the continuing ban on Russian athletes - had gone out to 6.78m in the first round, Serbia's Ivana Spanovic seized the lead with 6.96m with her second jump. American Reese, the 2012 Olympic champion in this stadium five summers ago, then took control with her third-round 7.02m, before Klishina almost stole gold in the final round. Her jump came up two centimetres short - although the silver was her first medal in a global
summary: Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith came within seven hundredths of a second of a remarkable medal as Dafne Schippers retained her 200m title at the World Championships.
