Amy Hunt hailed her British quartet of “superwomen” after they successfully defended their European 4x100m relay title to keep Hunt on course for an historic quadruple in Birmingham on a night of back-to-back triumphs for the hosts.

Dina Asher-Smith moved joint-top of the all-time European Athletics Championships medal table with 10, the same as Polish sprinter Irena Szewinska – though the Briton has two more golds with seven and a chance, alongside Hunt, to add another from Sunday’s inaugural European mixed 4x100m relay.
