Amy Hunt bags fourth Euro gold as Britain win 4x100m mixed relay
Amy Hunt bagged a record fourth gold at the European championships on Sunday as part of the winning British quartet in the 4x100m mixed relay.
Hunt, who went into the final having won golds in the 100, 200 and women's 4x100m relay, anchored a foursome starring Jeremiah Azu, Dina Asher-Smith and Zharnel Hughes.
They won in a European record of 39.97 seconds, ahead of Germany and Spain.
It was a record-setting eighth continental gold for second leg Asher-Smith, taking her clear of Croatia's discus thrower Sandra Elkasevic and Norway's middle-distance star Jakob Ingebrigtsen, each with seven European golds apiece.
The 30-year-old Briton, having also won two continental silvers and a bronze, also pulled clear of fellow sprinter Irena Szewinska as the most-decorated European athlete of all time, the Pole having won a total of 10 medals from 1966-1978 to Asher-Smith's 11.
"I had to run so fast, I'm with three fast people!" said Asher-Smith.
"I was thinking about representing my country and running as fast as I can."
