Hunt wins 200m for second European gold; English makes Irish history in 800m

Britain's Amy Hunt secured her second gold medal of the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham by winning the women's 200m on Thursday. Hunt, who had already claimed the 100m title earlier in the week, finished ahead of Ireland's Rhasidat Adeleke, with Britain's Dina Asher-Smith taking bronze. After the race, Hunt said she was targeting a historic quadruple, with the sprint relays still to come, and joked about her growing media presence, saying "I hope you're not sick of my face." She also revealed she had been struggling with near-fainting episodes during longer sprints this year.
