This is the story of one of the world's best sprinters and her journey to greatness.

Dina Asher-Smith is the fastest British woman in recorded history, an Olympic medallist and the 2019 World Champion at 200 metres. The British sprint superstar was born in London and by the age of seven she was already faster than any of her friends, and even her teachers. Follow her inspirational story from her lunchtime running club at primary school to the bright lights of the international stage.

Charlotte has worked as a journalist for a number of publications from The Independent to Prima. She has also written for a variety of organisations within the non-profit and charity sector. In 2017 she co-wrote the childhood memoirs 'Free Boots and Back-to-Backs'. She is the author of four children's books, in the Ultimate Football Heroes series, which tell the biographical stories of professional female footballers. In 2019 she co-wrote an anthology, 'Breast Cancer and Me: Inspirational Stories of Living With and Beyond Breast Cancer' for Asda's Tickled Pink campaign. She probably couldn't write or live without music and loves playing her favourite songs on piano.
