Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke Set a New National Record As She Pipped Asher-smith to the Silver Medal

Britain's Amy Hunt surged to 200m glory to secure her second gold medal at the European Championships, while compatriot Dina Asher-Smith settled for bronze in Birmingham. Hunt, who won 100m gold on Monday, reeled in Asher-Smith down the back straight and finished first with a season's best time of 22.19 seconds. With the women's and mixed 4x100m relay events still to come, the 24-year-old stayed on track "to be iconic" and become the first athlete to win four European Athletics Championship gold medals at the same tournament.

Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke set a new national record as she pipped Asher-Smith to the silver medal. "Two out of four baby, Hunt told BBC TV. "This is becoming a magical week and one I will remember for the rest of my life.

After struggling in the 200m earlier this summer, Hunt said before the Championships that she was ready for a "renewal of our vows" in the event. The Briton kept her promise with a composed performance that ended with her steaming through the final 40m to beat her competitors and clinch gold. She held her arms aloft and pointed to the sky as she emulated Asher-Smith's 100m-200m European double in 2018.
