Quicksilver Amy Hunt flies to glorious golden double with 200m triumph

• Hunt had won 100m already; Asher-Smith wins bronze

• Mark English wins 800m for Ireland’s first men’s gold

Two down. Two to go. Amy Hunt’s dream of winning a record four gold medals at a single European championships gathered further momentum with a bravura performance in front of a raucous Alexander Stadium crowd.

Hunt was given a huge cheer by the 20,082 in attendance, by far the biggest of the championships so far, when she was introduced in lane seven. But she had to work hard to get past her domestic rival Dina Asher-Smith, in lane eight.
