Danielle Thomas-Dodd took third place in the Women’s Shot Put at the opening meet of the 2023 World Indoor Tour in Karlsruhe, Germany on Friday. Dina Asher-Smith impressed at the meet with a new personal best and British record in the 60m dash.
The 29-year-old Jamaican, who opened her season with a 19.12m throw in Iowa City last week Friday, took the lead in the fourth round with a throw of 18.77m. However, that lead was short-lived as reigning World Indoor Champion Auriol Dongmo of Portugal produced a 18.90 to take the lead.
Canada’s Sarah Mitton then put 18.88m to relegate Dodd to third, a position she was unable to improve upon on her final two throws with marks of 18.67m and 18.37m.
Asher-Smith, meanwhile, won her 60m heat in a new personal best of 7.07s improving on her previous best of 7.08 set seven years ago. She would go even faster in the final clocking 7.04 to establish a new meet record, British record and lifetime best.
Poland’s Ewa Swoboda took the runner-up spot in a season best 7.09 while World Indoor Champion Mujinga Kambundji ran 7.11 for third place.
