Overview
- Hunt has already won the women’s 100m and the 200m at the European Championships, with the 200m recorded as a season best of 22.19 seconds on Thursday.
- She is entered to run for Team GB in the women’s 4x100m on Saturday and the inaugural mixed 4x100m on Sunday as she attempts to become the first athlete to win four European athletics golds at one championships.
- Hunt has disclosed a health scare after the July London Diamond League when she nearly fainted and underwent extensive cardiac testing.
- Medical staff have diagnosed low blood pressure and put daily monitoring and supportive measures in place, but they say the underlying cause remains unclear.
- If successful, Hunt’s relay double would create a new opportunity for a four-gold sweep that was not possible in earlier editions because the mixed 4x100m is being held for the first time this year, and she has said there will be no celebrations until the relays conclude.
