Dina Asher-Smith claimed 100m gold at the European Athletics Championships as British team-mates Georgia Bell and Lizzie Bird achieved silver medals in Rome.
Asher-Smith took victory in 10.99 seconds, crossing the line ahead of Poland’s Ewa Swoboda (11.03secs) and Italy’s Zaynab Dosso to celebrate her first major international medal since winning European 200m silver in 2022.
Bell clinched women’s 1500m silver in four minutes 05.33 seconds to achieve her first major international medal behind Ireland’s Ciara Mageean.
Meanwhile, Bird initially appeared to have replicated her European 3,000m steeplechase bronze medal-winning performance of two years ago, but that was upgraded to silver following a disqualification for winner Alice Finot of France.
Great Britain climbed to second in the medal table after winning two golds on Sunday.
Asher-Smith’s triumph followed team gold in the women’s half marathon – led by bronze medallist Calli Hauger-Thackery – during the morning session on day three.
Mageean finished the strongest at the end of a tactical 1500m final to cross the line in 4:04.66 seconds for Ireland’s second gold of the championships.
Britain’s Jemma Reekie had appeared in control of proceedings but faded to finish fifth in 4:06.17, while team-mate Katie Snowden was ninth (4:06.83).
Bird, 29, clocked 9:18.39 behind Finot (9:16.22) and initial runner-up Gesa Felicitas Krause of Germany (9:18.06) amid thunder and lightning in Rome, but Finot was later penalised for an infringement on the inside of the track.
