Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith had to settle for silver after Switzerland’s Mujinga Kambundji proved too strong in the European Championships 200m final.
Kambundji edged into a slight lead with 80m to go and, although Asher-Smith seemed poised to counter, the defending champion could not reel in her rival.
The Swiss athlete finished in 22.32, 0.11 seconds ahead of Asher-Smith.
“I came here to win, so I am not super happy,” said Asher-Smith, whose 100m title defence was wrecked by cramp.
“This year has been up and down. I am happy to be here, but not so happy with a silver, but you have to take it.
“I am in a better shape than that but at the same time I came second and it is what it is.”
