Amy Hunt On Winning European Championships 100m Gold In Birmingham

Amy Hunt won the women's 100m at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, running 11.00 to claim her first senior international title in front of a home crowd. She was seventh at the 10m mark, fifth at the 50m mark, and first at the line — a trademark finish that has come to define her 2026 season. It was her first gold at any senior international championship after a string of silvers: Tokyo Worlds silver in the 200m last September, Commonwealth silver in the 100m in Glasgow two weeks ago.
