Congratulations to her on her achievement.
Dina Asher Smith the first British female to win a world sprint gold medal.

Congratulations are indeed in order.
Although it’s debatable whether it’s a “British sprint first” - depends whether you think of the 400m as a sprint discipline. Also not sure why you needed to remark on her skin colour.

It was the 200m. I think the point of the thread title was to make you think it was about Diana Abbot being the first black woman to take PM's questions.

MARKS - no apostrophe needed. Disappointed that a seasoned nitpicker like you would post something so shoddy.

I think slackers point is that if you count 400m as a sprint, then Christine Ohrogugu or however it’s spelt is the first.
You’re right about spens attempt at humour though.

The point of the post was to highlight the huge achievement of Dina Asher Smith.

Still not said why you had to say black, as it was the first sprint gold for a British woman, black or white.

Of course 400m is a sprint. In no way is it a middle distance event.

Because it wouldn’t have been ‘funny’ then.

400m is officially classed as a sprint, so it is odd the the media is saying Dina is first British woman to win gold.
