GB's Glave and Azu claim first and second in European 100m

Great Britain's Romell Glave and Jeremiah Azu claim a sensational European 100m one-two for the hosts in Birmingham.

Romell Glave of Great Britain claimed first place in the European 100m race, leading team-mate Jeremiah Azu to a sensational one-two finish. This victory marked a significant milestone for Glave, marking his first international podium appearance after winning the 100m bronze two years ago in Rome. At 26 years old, Glave upgraded from a bronze medal achieved in 2024 and added gold to his collection.

The 10.09-second victory made him the sixth British man to win the European 100m title, and the third to do so in the past six editions. Azu, the world and European champion over 60m indoors in 2025, also shone, improving on his bronze medal performance from 2022 by winning the race in 10.16 seconds. German Owen Ansah rounded out the podium after Italy's two-time defending champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs withdrew due to injury.

British athlete Amy Hunt secured the women's gold medal in the 100m race, bringing a sense of accomplishment to the Great Britain team.
