Hunt surges to 200m glory to win second European gold
Britain's Amy Hunt charges to 200m glory to secure her second gold medal of the European Championships as Dina Asher-Smith claims bronze.
In Birmingham, Britain's Amy Hunt claimed a historic second gold medal at the European Championships in the 200m race, setting a season's best time of 22.19 seconds. This victory comes just a day after Hunt won the 100m event. Her rival and countrywoman, Dina Asher-Smith, settled for a bronze medal, marking her ninth European medal overall.
Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke secured silver in the women's 200m. Hunt had expressed her desire to emulate her 2018 performance, where she won both the 100m and 200m events. Despite Asher-Smith's early lead, Hunt strategically maneuvered past her competitor in the final stretch, finishing first. The British women's 4x100m relay team is now focused on achieving a second consecutive podium sweep, following their success in the men's 100m event.
