Golden treble for Hunt as Britain claim Euro relay title

BIRMINGHAM - Amy Hunt celebrated her third gold medal of the European Championships, as Britain secured victory in the women's 4x100m relay. The relay team, comprising Dina Asher-Smith, Success Eduan, and Imani Lansiquot, clocked a record-equalling time of 42.05 seconds. Hunt, who previously won the 100m and 200m sprint double, expressed her delight saying she was living the "time of my life".

Asher-Smith, who also won two silvers and a bronze, equaled Irena Szewinska as the most-decorated European athlete of all time with this triumph. The night featured other highlights, including Italy's Andy Diaz Hernandez setting the fourth longest triple jump of all time, Germany's Julian Weber winning the men's javelin with a championship record of 90.40m, and Norway's Henriette Jaeger winning the women's 400m with a dominant win.
