Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith made history as Great Britain maintained their bid to top the final medal table with mixed 4x100m relay gold at the European Championships.
Sprint sensation Hunt held up four fingers to the camera after holding off Germany's challenge on the home straight as another sell-out crowd roared the 24-year-old on to an unprecedented fourth gold of the week.
The world silver medallist completed victory for the quartet in a European record 39.97 seconds to add to her triumphs in the 100m, 200m and women's 4x100m in Birmingham.
With her eighth gold and 11th medal overall, Asher-Smith is unparalleled as the most successful athlete in the competition's 92-year history, with a team also featuring Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes extending the hosts' domination of the sprint events.
It was Great Britain's eighth gold medal, drawing them level with Italy at the top of the standings - and the team's 15th overall.
