Amy Hunt studied English Literature at Cambridge but clearly prefers making history in her spare time. In 90 years of the European Championships, no athlete has ever won four gold medals at a single edition — but Hunt is now just one winning race away.
After completing a stunning sprint double in the 100m and 200m, Hunt joined forces with Dina Asher-Smith, Success Eduan and Imani-Lara Lansiquot to storm to 4x100m gold at the Alexander Stadium in 42.05 seconds, the fastest time in Europe this season.
"I'm having the time of my life," said Hunt. "I'm standing next to some amazing women — Dina wins these medals for fun, Success delivers babies for a living and Imani wrote a play. They are just special and talented people.
"This week has been a whirlwind and it's not finished yet. I think next week the emotions are going to hit me and I'll be crying every day."
Tears can wait and, regardless of what happens in Sunday's 4x100m mixed relay, Hunt is the story of these championships. But she was not the story of this night.
