  "account": "Amy Hunt secured her second gold medal of the European Championships by winning the 200m race in Birmingham. The 24-year-old British athlete defeated her compatriot Dina Asher-Smith, who settled for bronze, in a season's best time of 22.19 seconds. Hunt also won the 100m gold on Monday, bringing her total European medals to two. Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke secured silver, setting a new national record. Hunt expressed her excitement about her achievement and aims to become the first athlete to win four European Championship gold medals in the same tournament. Asher-Smith, who finished third, claimed her ninth European medal, a tally topped only by the 10 achieved by Polish ex-sprinter Irena Szewinska. The women's and mixed 4x100m relay events remain to be determined, but Hunt remains on course to fulfill her goal of becoming iconic and the first athlete to accomplish this feat in the same tournament.",
