'Two out of four, baby' - Hunt wins 200m as she eyes historic quadruple
Britain's Amy Hunt charges to 200m glory to secure her second European Championships gold medal - but the sprinter has her sights set on a historic quadruple in Birmingham.
British sprinter Amy Hunt secured a gold medal at the European Championships, adding to her 100m victory earlier in the week. Hunt, 24, aims to become the first athlete to win four European gold medals in the same tournament. After crossing the line first in the 200m final, Hunt praised her performance, stating it was a "magical week" she will remember forever.
She emphasized the need to show Europe who the best sprinting nation is, while her compatriot Asher-Smith finished second by just 0.01 seconds. Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke claimed the bronze medal, breaking the national record. Hunt's teammate Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake noted the race unfolded as expected, with Amy capitalizing on Dina's strong bend.
Former world heptathlon champion Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill commended Hunt's exceptional performance, highlighting her speed and endurance. Hunt's second gold medal continues Britain's sprint dominance at the championships, following Romell Glave and Jeremiah Azu's one-two finish in the men's 100m event.
