Dina Asher-Smith says she is in a "new era" and can achieve more than she previously thought possible following her 100m heartbreak at Paris 2024.
The 28-year-old, Britain's fastest woman, failed to reach the Olympic 100m final in August but recovered from that setback to finish two-hundredths of a second away from a medal in the 200m, before winning 4x100m relay silver.
Asher-Smith has undergone significant change in 2024, changing her coaching set-up for the first time and moving to the United States.
"For me, this was year one," Asher-Smith said on the BBC's Headliners show.
"Even though, ultimately, it is the end of an Olympic cycle, it's actually year one. And, for year one, overall it's been pretty good - minus one day."
The 2019 world 200m champion is a three-time Olympic relay medallist but had hoped to end her wait for a first individual Olympic medal in Paris, having made a promising start following her move to Austin, Texas.
Following a disappointing 2023 World Championships, where she finished eighth in the 100m and seventh in the 200m, Asher-Smith made the decision to end her 19-year partnership with childhood coach John Blackie.
It led to her move overseas, to be coached by Edrick Floreal, whose world-class training group also includes St Lucia's Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred and talented Irish 22-year-old Rhasidat Adeleke.
