Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith has admitted that she will have a tough task qualifying for the World Championships in Beijing due to the talent around her.
The 19-year-old, who is part of a talent pool including Jodie Williams, Asha Philip, Bianca Williams, Desiree Henry and Ashleigh Nelson, will try to seal a place in the 100m and 200m events at the Worlds.
"My goal is to be at the World Championships in Beijing and compete in the Bird's Nest," The Guardian quotes Asher-Smith as saying.
"But I could be running lifetime bests and running fantastically well but I still might not an individual berth in the 100m or 200m simply because we have such a hotbed of talent in the UK."
The athlete won silver in the 60m final at the European Indoor Championships in Prague earlier this month.
