Dina Asher-Smith: Meet the new golden girl of British athletics who stunned with triple win at Euro championships
History graduate Asher-Smith, 22, has become a force in athletics and is being tipped for Olympic gold in 2020
A STAR was born in Berlin over the weekend.
Where Jessica Ennis-Hill once reigned supreme, Dina Asher-Smith has now risen to take her place.
She even admitted she wears more make-up while running than she would on a night out with friends.
Asher-Smith said: "I wear far more make-up to compete, the whole fixing spray, everything.
"It’s because you're on TV, and it’s part of your moment, isn't it? You wouldn't want to be looking dishevelled."
In the same interview, Asher-Smith also revealed she stays loyal to London in a lot of her musical taste.
"I've got a really close affinity to AJ Tracey, Skepta," she added, "they’ve been amazing for so long, especially Skepta, he’s been iconic in that scene.
"I see them breaking out of the niche market and becoming far more powerful, it’s really nice to see.
"It makes you really proud to be from London, ‘cause obviously we've known for ages."
Asher-Smith revealed one her role models were tennis icon Serena Willaims - "because she's obviously the queen" - as well as six-time Olympic gold medallist Allyson Felix.
"She does it all with such grace and poise."
Asher-Smith is not all beauty and fast-twitch muscles, either, she has the brains to match.
In 2017, history-making Asher-Smith fittingly graduated from King's College London with a degree in History.
Her dissertation was on the impact jazz had on social integration in the US.
She said about the decision to head to uni: "For us in particular, as women in sport, we were always told make sure that you’ve got something else.
"Because you can get one injury and you can be done – but also, even if you’ve done really well, particularly in track and field, sometimes you don’t get paid like the same amount as men.
"Track and field in particular, it’s so competitive, you can be the best in the world one year, and the next year literally you will not get paid."
But there was only one thing on Asher-Smith's mind after she completed her historic treble at the weekend.
"I really want fast food. It’s been a long time since I had it," she said on Monday.
"Before I came out here I kept driving past KFC and, 'Oh my goodness . . . '
"I asked my coach how much harm could it do and he said, ‘You don’t want to find out do you?'"
