    Sawyer's fourth attempt - it's clean, and looks long...

    After a lengthy wait, it is confirmed as an improved jump of 6.99m!

    That moves Sawyers back into second place. If she can break that seven metre mark, she could be in the gold medal position.

    She looks understandably delighted with her work so far.

  2. gold-medal

    Gold medal - Frederik Ruppert (Germany)published at 21:05 BST 16 August

    The bell rings and Frederik Ruppert, who had led from the start, ups the pace. He clears the final barrier and surges across the line to win the first major medal of his career. And it's gold!

    The German finishes in a time of 8:25.33, with his compatriot Karl Benendorf claiming bronze and Luxembourg's Ruben Querinjean taking silver.

    Britain's Kristian Imroth, William Battershill and Zak Seddon finish 12, 14th and 15th respectively.

    Great Britain's Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes, speaking to BBC Sport.

    Azu: "We are super strong in sprinting, and we wanted to showcase that for the British fans. Amy [Hunt] is on the rise. What she has done at these championships is incredible.

    "I have never said this, but when I started athletics in 2017, Dina [Asher-Smith] was all everyone was talking about.

    "I went and watched all of her tapes. It's an honour and privilege to be on the same team with her. You see these athletes, and you think, 'wow they're incredible' and we're teammates now, which is incredible."

    Hughes: "We have never done this before. It was incredible. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Are you not entertained?"

    Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith speaking to BBC Sport after winning gold: "I was terrified. I was absolutely terrified. When that gun was going I was like, 'Dina, just relax'.

    "When I gave that baton to Zharnel [Hughes] I was so happy. I can't lie. I was like 'get this out of my hand'.

    It's good to get to try something new. The more we do it, the more we learn the tips and tricks of the event to keep running faster."

    On Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith...

    Fantastic to see two strong amazing women who have come out and dominated, but not just on one occasion.

    The likes of Dina competing and winning year after year. Fantastic for young girls sitting at home and in the stadium watching.

    Really inspiring and they deserve all the rewards for their accolades.

    Great Britain's Amy Hunt, speaking to BBC Sport: "Oh my gosh, I am over the moon. I think to finish it off with some of my best friends in the sport.

    "Me and Jeremiah have the same birthday, so we're kind of twins. To do it all together is incredible.

    "The first time we did that changeover was an hour ago in warm-ups. Look how smooth it was. Such professionals. When you're queuing for a roller-coaster, and you're seeing the drops, but when you get off you want to do it all again. I loved it."It was so scary, but I love the new opportunity. End of the week we needed some newness. To do something brand new was amazing."

    Greg Rutherford
    Former world and Olympic long jump champion on BBC One

    Jazmin Sawyers is coming into the form of her life.

    The fact she has had an Achilles rupture to jump 6.96m for a season best is fantastic. This is coming together. This will arguably be the best series of her life.

    We are going to see Sawyers sail over 7m today.

    Women's long jump final

    Unfortunately Molly Palmer cannot improve with her third and final jump, and is in ninth place at the half-way point of the long jump final.

    With only the top eight progressing to the final three efforts, Palmer's event is over.

    Jaz Sawyers now stands alone for Great Britain.

  11. Record-holder Ruppert searching for first major medalpublished at 20:54 BST 16 August

    There's a trio of British athletes going in the men's 3000m steeplechase final, but they're going to have a difficult task in trying to beat Frederik Ruppert of Germany.

    He's the European record holder after running a time of seven minutes 57.80 seconds in May, but he has never won a major medal.

    No other man in tonight's field has broken the eight-minute barrier.

    The German is leading the way as the athletes hit the 1000m mark.

    Jaz Sawyers has fouled her third jump, and is down to third in the overall standings. She has been overtaken by Hilary Kpatcha of France, who has jumped 6.98m.

    Still three jumps to go for Sawyers.

    Molly Palmer meanwhile improved to 6.54m after her second effort, and is ninth overall. She needs further improvement to avoid early elimination.

    Men's pole vault final

    Business as usual for Armand Duplantis in the men's pole vault final.

    After passing on 5.70m, he clears 5.85m on his first attempt.

    So do Greece's Emmanouil Karalis and Frenchman Baptiste Thiery.

    Plus, the men's 3000m steeplechase is just about to get under way.

    I definitely felt the tension with that first changeover for Great Britain. Going into Zharnel Hughes, they perhaps got too close, but it was a brilliant race. Great Britain delivered on every level.

    Fanny Blankers-Koen, the Dutch sprinter regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, won three golds and a silver at the 1950 European Championships.

    Amy Hunt has won four gold medals in 2026.

    Hers is, judged by medals, the best individual Euros ever.

    That is all going to stand. Great Britain the first European team to go under 40 seconds. That is really good.

    Germany should be very pleased. Mistakes can happen, but none whatsoever from any of the teams. GB celebrating as a team. A sense of comradery that they have got.
