Amy Hunt is now just one win away from an unprecedented European quadruple after the British 4x100m women’s relay team secured a gold medal. This triumph came on a night of back-to-back successes for the host nation.
In the same race, Dina Asher-Smith became the joint most-decorated athlete in European Athletics Championships history. The British quartet of Asher-Smith, Hunt, Success Eduan, and Imani-Lara Lansiquot claimed victory in 42.05 seconds. This result brings Asher-Smith's total medal count to 10, matching Polish sprinter Irena Szewinska, though Asher-Smith holds two more golds with seven.
The British team's race experienced a slight delay and required a review to confirm their win. Switzerland took silver in 43.12 seconds, with Poland earning bronze in 43.15 seconds. Hunt, who previously achieved an individual sprint double earlier in the week, is aiming for a first four gold medals for a British athlete at a single European championship, a feat made possible by the introduction of a mixed 4x100m relay this year.
