Amy Hunt secured her third gold medal of the European Athletics Championships as Great Britain won the women’s 4x100m relay in Birmingham on Saturday evening.

This victory puts Hunt one win away from achieving a unique quadruple, having already won gold in the 100m and 200m earlier in the week. Dina Asher-Smith, her teammate, made history as well, matching the all-time record of 10 championship medals. The British squad's win contributes to their total of 12 medals, which includes six golds, as they continue to compete.
