Double Relay Delight for GB

Home

Double Relay Delight: It was British delight for the home crowd in Birmingham as both British 4x100m teams stormed to emphatic wins in the two final races of the day. Romell Glave brought home the first relay title, the individual 100m champion anchoring the team home in style, before Imani Lansiquot then did just the same for the women. 

 

Heptathlon Queen Crowned: After producing a string of personal bests, Ireland’s Kate O’Connor finished her competition off with a gutsy 800m to set an Irish record of 6751 points and claim European heptathlon gold. 

 

Jumping for Joy: Italy's Andy Díaz Hernández continued his dominant form in the men's triple jump, soaring to gold with a world-leading mark of 18.15m, the fourth longest jump in history. Elsewhere, the women's high jump saw Ukraine’s superstar Yaroslava Mahuchikh bring up a hat-trick of European titles with 1.97m clearance. 

 

Jægerbomb: After a stunning anchor leg earlier in the week to win gold for Norway in the mixed 4x400m, Henriette Jaeger was utterly dominant in the women’s 400m final as she stormed to gold in 49.04, a national record and the fastest time in Europe this year. 

 

Delayed, not Denied: Having suffered four fourth-place finishes at past European finals, Sweden's Andreas Almgren finally broke his streak. Last night, Almgren stormed to a championship record of 27:23.44 to win the 10,000m title. 

 

Barrier Breaker: Germany’s Julian Weber delivered a historic performance in the men’s javelin final, unleashing a monster 90.40m throw in the final round to capture gold and shatter the championship record. In doing so, Weber became the first man in the event’s history to cross the 90-metre mark. 

 

Middle-Distance Mastery: In a tactical and hard-fought men’s 1500m final, Dutchman Niels Laros Nielsen surged to victory, timing his kick to perfection down the home straight to secure his first senior European title.  

 

What's happening on the final day of the Championships?

 

Aiming High: Global superstar and world record holder Mondo Duplantis headlines Sunday’s evening session. With the Swede looking in supreme form through qualifying earlier in the week, could he break the world record for an incredible 16th time? 

 

Marathoners take to the City: With a course that features a fast, spectator-friendly city-centre course, Europe’s finest 26.2 milers are set to tackle eight laps of a 5km loop starting and finishing in the city centre’s. Victoria Square. Finland’s 2:20 runner Alisa Vainio leads the women’s entries, while German Amanal Petros, who boasts a 2:04 personal best set last year, looks favourite for the men’s title. 

 

Field Finals: The women’s javelin looks a wide-open event, with Serbian’s Adriana Vilagoš, Norwegian Sigrid Borg and Polish star Maria Andrejczyk among those likely to be in contention for the title. Elsewhere, the women’s long jump features Germany’s reigning champ Malaika Mhambo & Britain’s bang in-form Jazmin Sawyers. 

 

Chasing Glory: Endurance action sees both the women’s 1500m and men’s 3000m steeplechase take centre stage under the lights of Alexander Stadium. Britain’s Georgia Hunter-Bell is a commanding gold-medal favourite in the 1500m, while Germany’s sub-8 minute man Frederik Ruppert heads up a field of 16 in the steeple.  

 

4x400m Showdowns: Everyone’s favorite event concluder, and always sure to deliver thrills and (baton) spills, the men’s and women’s 4x400m relays bring the curtain down in Birmingham. Belgium’s men enter as Defending championships, Netherland’s the women’s, but both British quartets will be hungry to deliver a fine finale for the home crowd.
