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. But on Tuesday night, the 29-year-old celebrated with her celebrity pals including Alex Scott and fellow Olympian, Denise Lewis. Asher-Smith kept her look sophisticated in a green dress. The Olympian looked extremely regal as she completed her look with a pair of patent red leather-look pointy heeled shoes. Elsewhere, her glossy raven tresses were styled into tight curls which rested on her shoulder. Dina hosted her exclusive bash at Sale e Pepe in the lavish area of Knightsbridge, west London. Meanwhile, former Lioness Alex was joined by her pop star girlfriend, Jess Glynne at the glitzy event. Alex kept her look casual but sophisticated with the football pundit choosing a black and white striped sweater. Hitmaker Jess braved the colder evening weather with a striking black leather jacket, accessorised with a pair of orange tinted sunglasses. "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 added: "When I started running, I just wanted to run faster. I did not imagine it would take me here. I didn't imagine it would take me to the Olympic Games or get me records or anything like that. "I think it is just testament to the power of sport, the power of working hard, staying focused and dedicated. As with all of the recipients here today, it is about the power of hard work and it is nice to be celebrated for your great work." Asher-Smith, who is originally from Orpington, Kent, added: "It means a lot to be recognised by your country in this way. "It is a great setting, a stunning castle and the King is really funny and really charming, so it has been a great day." Charles was "amazed" that Dina had jetted to Windsor from Texas, with her telling the Monarch: "Of course, you invited me, so I wasn't going to miss this and this is such an honour." Asher-Smith said she was "really excited" to be opening her outdoor season with a 4x400m relay race on Sunday in Austin, Texas. She added: "We have quite a lot of time to build into our season. I am in Jamaica next week to run there. I am definitely in a great place (for the World Championships). I’m really excited for the season. I am excited to kickstart my outdoor season this weekend." She was left cursing herself after failing to reach the 100m final at the Olympics in Paris but followed it with strong late-season form at the Diamond League where she took the fight to new sprint queens including Julien Alfred and Sha'Carri Richardson of the US. It included clocking a season's best 10.88 seconds to triumph in Switzerland, just shy of her 10.83secs British record. The athlete started breaking records at a young age, running a world-best 39.16 in the 300m aged just 13. From working as a kit-bag carrier at the London 2012 Olympics, she enjoyed a successful appearance at the Rio 2016 Olympics, where she finished fifth in the 200m and won bronze as part of the 4x100m relay. Dina won 4x100m silver in the London Stadium at the 2017 World Championships, despite breaking her foot five months earlier. Victory in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the 2018 European Athletics Championships in Berlin made her the first British woman to achieve this sprint treble at a major championships. She won the 200m at the 2019 World Championships, along with a silver in the 100m. Like this story?
