Kent’s Dina Asher-Smith insisted she has no regrets about opting out of the IAAF World Indoor Championships, despite her impressive performance in coming a narrow second over 60m at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix Glasgow on Sunday.

Qualifying for the final in a PB-equalling 7.08, she ran 7.09 behind Marie-Josée Ta Lou’s stadium record of 7.07. Double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson was third in 7.12.

Asher-Smith will fly out to Australia next weekend to prepare for her shot at the 200m in the Commonwealth Games, rather than heading to Birmingham and she said: “There are no big regrets. I’d love to run the World Indoors but the bigger plan is the Commonwealth Games.”

Of her performance, she added: “I’m really happy with that; coming into a home event, you just want to do it for the crowd. I would have liked to go a little quicker but I hope we put on a good show. When we saw the clock initially, we thought we had gone even quicker but I think we are both happy with our times [her and Ta Lou].

“I’m obviously focusing on the Commonwealth Games so I take great confidence from that as I look to peak in April. I’m heading out to Sydney in a week to finish my preparation. I’ll be watching the World Indoors; I’m sure Asha (Philip) will run really well so I’m wishing her all the best.”
