Georgia Hunter Bell has taken inspiration from her compatriots when it comes to being open with her targets and she now has just one major victory this year to tick off.
The 32-year-old provided her latest tactical masterclass to win her maiden European gold on the final night in Birmingham, biding her time before producing a devastating kick with 150m remaining.
The chasing pack had no answer and Hunter Bell crossed the lines with arms outstretched as she added to the World Indoor and Commonwealth crowns she already has to her name in 2026.
"Going into things as the favourite and delivering is hard," said Hunter Bell, who will bid to complete a golden year at the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Budapest next month.
"It's much harder than going in as an underdog. It means a lot to prove to yourself you can do it as well as everyone else. I've been embracing the pressure and thinking let's just go for it.
