Three-time world heptathlon champion on BBC One

There's not much between the big three. It's going to come down to tactics, competitive spirit and who wants it more.

Keely is so experienced in this event and she's only 24. She's raced around the world at multiple championships and has delivered every time. She likes the feeling of pain and how far she can push herself - she relishes that and you can see that in her performances and how she can dig deeper.

Keely Hodgkinson talking to BBC Sport after winning her heat:

"The championship is a fresh start. It felt good. The standard has gone up. That was one minute 57 in the heats!

"We are dragging the best out of each other and the standard keeps getting higher and higher, but it brings out the best in me."

Jakob Ingebrigtsen fought back from "the lowest of lows" to win a stunning 5,000m gold at the European Athletics Championships after almost a year out with injury.

The Norwegian great underwent Achilles surgery in January and only returned to training six weeks ago.

However, 324 days after he last took to the track, Ingebrigtsen produced an astonishing late surge to claim victory.

The 25-year-old clocked 13 minutes 15.29 seconds to win a record-equalling seventh gold at these championships, moving level with Croatian discus thrower Sandra Elkasevic.

"With 600m to go, I knew I was going to win. I was just hoping I was not going to get too tired," Ingebrigtsen told BBC Sport.

"I doubted myself every day and every minute leading up to the last lap, but I am always hoping.

"Coming from the lowest of lows to be European champion again means the world to me. Not even I believed it could happen coming here."

Amy Hunt had her coming of age moment as she stormed to 100m glory to claim her first senior international title and deliver Britain's first gold medal of the European Athletics Championships.

Hunt announced herself on the sport's global stage last year with world 200m silver in Tokyo - the first individual international medal of her senior career.

Having backed that up with Commonwealth 100m silver two weeks ago, the 24-year-old would not be denied gold this time in Birmingham.

"I have had such a string of silvers and I was starting to get a bit fed up with it, so I thought it was time for gold," Hunt, who won in 11 seconds flat, told BBC Sport.

"My parents gifted me these gold earrings to finally level up, because I wear all-silver jewellery.

"They said it was time for gold - they left me that note two nights ago - so it made me quite emotional.

"It was definitely time for me to come of age here."
