Britain's Hunt completes sprint double with 200m gold at Euro championships
On August 13, Amy Hunt of Britain secured a sprint double at the European Athletics Championships by winning the women's 200 meters gold, following her victory in the 100 meters on Monday. Hunt triumphed in 22.19 seconds, narrowly edging out Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke, who finished second in 22.28 seconds. Hunt's teammate and training partner, Dina Asher-Smith, narrowly missed the podium by 0.01 seconds, earning her her seventh European Championships medal.
Hunt, 24, could potentially achieve a sprint quadruple if Britain wins both the 4x100m relay and the mixed 4x100m relay. Ireland's Mark English claimed the men's 800m gold in 1:45.26, becoming the first Irishman to win a European Championships gold. Croatia's Marino Bloudek secured silver, and Spain's Mohamed Attaoui rounded out the podium.
