Amy Hunt is one win away from an unprecedented European quadruple after the British 4x100m women’s relay team won gold in style on a night of back-to-back triumphs for the hosts.
Dina Asher-Smith also became the joint most-decorated athlete in European Athletics Championships history in the same race on Saturday, won by the British quartet of Asher-Smith, Hunt, Success Eduan and Imani-Lara Lansiquot in 42.05 seconds.
It takes Asher-Smith’s total to 10 medals, joining Polish sprinter Irena Szewinska, though the former has two more golds with seven.
The Britons, whose race got off to a slightly delayed start after a win in the equivalent men’s race, also had to wait for a review to confirm their triumph.
Switzerland took silver in 43.12 and bronze went to Poland in 43.15.
Hunt previously won the 100m and 200m in Birmingham and hopes for another in the mixed 4×100m relay on Sunday.
