Why Dina Asher-Smith Left the USA and Moved Back to London | UK & Canadian Championship Recaps

Dina Asher-Smith recently announced that she has moved back to London, UK and is now permanently training there.

Though details are sparse, why did Dina move back to the UK only 1 month out from the 2025 world champs?

Let's also discuss results from the 2025 UK Championships, Canadian Championships and Shaunae Miller-Uibo's return to the 400m in the Bahamas.
