Amy Hunt claimed a second European title in Birmingham by winning the 200 metres, just days after securing gold in the 100m. The British sprinter, already impressive in the semi-finals, confirmed her status as favourite by winning in 22.19, the fastest European performance of the year. She finished ahead of Rhasidat Adeleke, who set a new national record of 22.28, while fellow British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith took bronze in 22.29. With two individual titles to her name, Hunt has therefore completed the sprint double over 100m and 200m, with the women’s 4x100m and mixed 4x100m relays still to come and potentially offering further opportunities for medals in Birmingham.
