Amy Hunt Claims First Gold in Birmingham | UK News

Amy Hunt just shattered her silver-medal streak with a stunning gold in the 100m at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham — Great Britain’s first medal of the games. After world silver and Commonwealth silver in quick succession, she finally claimed the top spot on home soil, finishing in 11.00 seconds and coming from behind with a signature strong finish. Emotional moments followed as her parents gifted her gold earrings to mark the milestone. With momentum from breaking the 11-second barrier and training under her Italian coach, Hunt now eyes three more medals this week — including the 200m and relays. Defending champ Dina Asher-Smith fell short, placing fifth, while Poland and Belgium took silver and bronze. Hunt’s journey — balancing Cambridge studies, injuries, and relentless comeback — signals a new era for British sprinting.
