More infoBritish sprinter Dina Asher-Smith insisted Olympic participants should not face punishment should they decide to take the knee during the competition. The change has opened up the doors to participants taking the knee ahead of competitions but taking the knee on the podium has remained banned. Mr Vine said: "Sprinter Dina Asher-Smith, who essentially wants to do it, but the Olympics people don't like it."
