Amy Hunt anchored Team GB to victory in the Mixed 4x100m relay at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, securing a record fourth European Championship gold. Hunt is the first athlete in the competition's history to reach four gold medals, with the mixed relay win delivering that milestone for Great Britain. The result completed Hunt's standout week at the championships and set a new benchmark for individual gold medals at the European level.

I have hugely enjoyed pretty much every moment of the European Athletics Championships and I am very sad that it’s over.

Earlier, I walked past the living room where it was being watched, and heard “what a magnificent set of jugs” as female athletes celebrated. After my shocked squawk, I was informed the commentator had said “magnificent set of JUMPS”

Me too Jane. I’ve especially enjoyed the camaraderie between the competitors. It’s been great.

Italy just beat Britain by 3 hundredths of a second to win the whole European athletics championships in the last moment of the last event. What an incredible week it has been!

Loved the mixed relay in the athletics, that has to be an Olympic sport moving forward - and Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith are legends for what they've done this week 🙂

#athletics #running I'm really enjoying the European Championships via the BBC. But in these high-tech times of carbon plates, nutritionists and psychologists etc athletes are still relying on safety pins to put bibs onto shirts ! The one and only thing I have in common with these amazing athletes.
