Just hours after meeting King Charles, who gave her MBE, Dina Asher-Smith staged a glittery celebration surrounded by her closest friends, including Alex Scott.
Dina Asher-Smith celebrated her MBE in style. Britain’s fastest female sprinter was presented the award by King Charles on Tuesday after jetting in for the ceremony from Texas, where she has been training.
However, the 29-year-old celebrated on Tuesday night with Olympian Denise Lewis and her celebrity pal Alex Scott. In a green dress, Asher-Smith maintained her sophisticated appearance. The Olympian finished her look with a pair of pointy shoes with a patent red leather-like sole.
Her glossy raven tresses were styled onto her shoulder in tight, curly curls elsewhere. In Knightsbridge, west London’s opulent neighborhood, Dina hosted her lavish bash at Sale e Pepe, where she hosted her exclusive bash.
At the glittery event, former Lioness Alex’s ex-girlfriend Jess Glynne joined her at the former Lioness Alex’s glitzy event. With the football pundit opting for a sweater with black and white stripes, Alex kept her look classy and sophisticated. With a striking black leather jacket and an orange-toned pair of sunglasses, knitmaker Jess braved the chilly evenings.
“For me, it is a very powerful emblem of what you do on the track, being inspiring to other people and also having repercussions and positive influence far beyond the world of sport,” Dina said on Wednesday looking at her medal.
She continued, “I just wanted to run faster when I first started to run.” I had no idea where I would be going. I didn’t anticipate that it would transport me to the Olympics, give me records, or anything similar.
It is, in my opinion, a testament to the virtues of sport, hard work, persistence, and dedication. It’s about the power of hard work, just like it’s with everyone who has received this present. It’s nice to be recognized for your outstanding work. It means a lot to be recognized by your country in this way, said Asher-Smith, who is a native of Orpington, Kent.
It was a wonderful day because the King is really funny and charming, and the castle is amazing. Dina told the Monarch, “Of course, you invited me, so I wasn’t going to miss this and this is such an honor,” and Charles was “amazed” that Dina had jetted to Windsor from Texas.
Asher-Smith said she was “really excited” that Austin, Texas will host her outdoor season’s 4x400m relay race on Sunday. We still have a lot of time to wrap up our season, she continued. Next week, I’ll be running in Jamaica. For the World Championships, I am undoubtedly in a fantastic position. The season is really coming to an end. This weekend will kick off my outdoor season.
After failing to reach the 100-meter final at the Paris Olympics, she was left cursing herself. She followed that with strong late-season performance at the Diamond League, where she competed against former US sprint champions Julien Alfred and Sha’Carri Richardson. She also set a season-best 10.88 seconds record for winning in Switzerland, just outside of her 10.83 seconds British record. The athlete, who was just 13 years old, set records at a young age by running a 39.16 in the 300-meter race.
She completed her successful Olympic run at the Rio 2016 Games, where she placed fifth in the 200-meter and bronzed as a part of the 4×100-meter relay, after working as a kit-bag carrier at the London 2012 Olympics. Despite breaking her foot five months prior, Dina won 4x100m silver at the 2017 World Championships in London.
She became the first British woman to win the sprint treble at a major championships with victories in the 100, 200, and 4×100 relay at the 2018 European Athletics Championships in Berlin. At the 2019 World Championships, she also won silver in the 100-meter race.
