Amy Hunt is halfway to achieving her target of four golds at a single European championships after beating Dina Asher-Smith to win the women’s 200 metres final in Birmingham.

Asher-Smith, who took bronze, got out to the faster start but Hunt – who is known for the back end of her race – was neck-and-neck with her fellow Briton after the bend then pulled ahead, crossing the line in 22.19 seconds.

Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke took silver in a national record 22.28s, and Asher-Smith rounded out the podium in 22.29s.

Success Eduan, the third Briton in the final, who beat Hunt on the same track at the British Championships in June, was sixth in 22.66s.
