That was a really dramatic race. Germany - who were unheralded going into this final - put in a great performance and take the silver, with Spain winning bronze.

Gina Luckenkemper, who ran the final leg for Germany, pushed Amy Hunt all the way. But Hunt just had enough.

Gold for Great Britain. That was a great race between Germany and Great Britain. Amy came out victorious!

HISTORY MAKERS!

Amy Hunt shows four fingers to the camera. Four gold medals in one Euros! No athlete has ever done that before.

And Dina Asher-Smith has won an ELEVENTH European medal. No athlete has ever won more.

On your marks.

See you on the other side.

The athletes are being introduced to the crowd now. Huge cheers for the Brits.

On paper, GB definitely have the strongest team here - but in a relay, anything can happen.

Interestingly, Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes are running the same legs as they did last night - first and third.

Dina Asher-Smith led the women off last night, while Amy Hunt ran the second leg. But it will be Hunt who brings the Brits home tonight, as she aims for that historic fourth gold.

It is going to be exciting as there's so many variations of speed. The key factor as always in relay is keep the baton moving as quickly as possible as you can.

In terms of order, all eight teams run the same - man, woman, man, woman.

This is unlike the mixed 4x400m, where teams can place their athletes in any order.

Reminder that this is the first time a mixed 4x100m has been run at the European Championships.

You just have this confidence that exuberates out of Amy Hunt.

The results she is having back up her confidence. You then watch her and back her to achieve what she is achieving.

There's an expectation in her, but she delivers on it. Fundamentally, she believes she is going to do it.

Dina Asher-Smith is a trailblazer. She was the first British woman to go under 11 seconds [in 100m] and first woman to go under 22 seconds [in 200m]. She took it to the Jamaicans and the Americans.

On Amy Hunt's 'iconic' comment...

So often you know that athletes sometimes don't want to reveal what they are thinking in their minds and the targets they have.

There is a fear that if you put it out there, it may not happen, or it may be taken in the wrong way.

With Amy Hunt, she has always backed herself, and she is not afraid of saying this is what I want.

Dina Asher-Smith became the most successful athlete in the history of the European Championships after winning gold in the women's 4x100m relay on Saturday.

Asher-Smith, who won bronze in the women's 200m earlier in the week, now has a record-equalling seven gold medals, the same number as Croatian discus thrower Sandra Elkasevic (formerly Perkovic) and Norwegian distance runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

But with two silvers and one bronze also in her collection, the 30-year-old has more overall medals than both of them.

Asher-Smith also drew level with sprinter Irena Szewinska of Poland as the most-decorated European athlete of all time. Szewinska won a total of 10 medals from 1966-1978 but only five were golds.

Of other current female athletes, Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol has five golds and two bronze medals.

Asher-Smith runs in the mixed 4x100m relay final tonight in a bid to go top of the all-time standings on her own.

We will keep you updated on Jaz Sawyers, Mondo Duplantis et al.

But the athletes are entering the arena ahead of the first of tonight's relays...

Sawyers, removes the sunglasses and the fluffy towel, ready for jump two...

It's another legal jump - 6.96m! That is her personal best outdoors, she is on her game tonight.

Sawyers remains in second place for now.

Larissa Lapichino has had this monumental advance this year. With this sort of wind, we could see something special from the youngster.

Lapichino is currently placed first after her opening jump of 7m.

Bab the Bull, the mascot of these championships, has just emerged wearing a towel around their waist - imitating Jazmin Sawyers.

Sawyers, game face on fully, pays Bab no heed.

On Molly Palmer's opening jump...

That looked quite flat. Very stiff running down the runway. You have got to calm it down and loosen it off.

Britain's Molly Palmer has posted an opening jump of 6.29m, putting her in 10th place after one jump.

Compatriot Jazmin Sawyers is in second place with her 6.95m - but there are still five jumps to go for most of these athletes. A long way to go.

European indoor champion Larissa Iapichino of Italy is the early leader and the only athlete so far to break the seven metre mark.

For the pole vault qualification session on Friday morning, there was a 'Mondo Ticket' available for young fans hoping to see the Swede in action.

The price? £6.31 to mark the height of his world record jump. A nice touch from the Birmingham organisers.

A groan from the crowd as Owen Heard brings the bar down at his final attempt at 5.70m.

The 24-year-old won't add another medal to his Commonwealth Games bronze and that ends British hopes in the pole vault final.

Four other athletes have also failed to clear 5.70m.
