She clocked 12.58 secs to retain her title, having also won the event in Berlin two years ago and in Grosseto in 2016.

“It felt incredible to be competing at a major Championships again,” said the former Brooksby Melton College student.

“I’m really happy I could produce that performance.”

Hahn secured her second medal as part of the universal 4x100m relay team, winning silver.
