Amy Hunt anchored Great Britain to a gold medal in the mixed 4x100m relay at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, achieving a new European record time of 39.97 seconds. This victory makes Hunt the first athlete to secure four gold medals at a single European Championships, having already won in the 100m, 200m, and the women’s sprint relay. The mixed relay event, which will debut in the Olympics, proved challenging due to the differences in speed and stride length between male and female athletes. Hunt expressed euphoria over her achievements and looks to take her success to the global stage. The championships concluded with Great Britain winning every title except the men’s 200m, where Zharnel Hughes was narrowly defeated.
