That was going to be the key for the whole season for Amy Hunt. She has confidence in the back end of the race. She wants to go under that 11 seconds - she needs to go quicker again to guarantee herself that gold medal.

Hunt looks incredibly smooth as she records her latest sub-11 clocking, crossing the line in 10.99.

Women's 100m semi-finals
It's only the top two to go through automatically, plus the next two fastest across the three races.
Dina Asher-Smith, in lane three, calls for more noise from the crowd as her name is announced at Alexander Stadium.
Amy Hunt is in lane seven. There are huge cheers for both Britons in this first heat. Can they get the job done and secure their places in the medal race?

Allison Curbishley
Former GB 400m runner on BBC Radio 5 Live
That track was quick at the Commonwealth Games.
Amy Hunt performed and she took the silver. She has got high expectations in Birmingham.
What quality we have got coming through and that conveyor belt will not stop. Amy will not be able to rest on her laurels.
She is a breath of fresh air and everything about her is just bubbling. I am really excited to see what she can do.

Amy Hunt
British 100m runner on BBC Radio 5 Live
I am someone who loves my life. I love my job, I love my sport, and I love my career. Heading to the track is my favourite thing in the world.
I am living my dream, and I am so grateful to be able to do that and live in a different country at 24 and experience all these things. It has been nice to exist in an environment which is very much a bubble, it is just us at the track and just our team.
Living in Italy is a slower pace of life, and people live in the moments, and they appreciate being in the present. There is no rush and you're never late in Italy.
I think loving what you do really comes through. I truly love what I do. It inspires me every day to want to be the fastest woman in the world. We're getting there step by step.
Confidence is a big part of that, especially in the 100m.

For Amy Hunt, she has had a fantastic couple of years. We have seen massive improvements from where she came from. For Dina Asher-Smith, she is the defending champion. This is her championships. She is the queen of championships.

Ilona Masson of Belgium has also enjoyed a breakthrough year, while two-time European long jump champion Ivana Spanovic is now focusing on the triple jump and goes in the second of two qualifying groups.
There's no British interest in this one.
Women's 100m hurdles first round
Can Emma Nwofor hang on to one of those 12 fastest places and make it through to the semi-finals? Time to find out...

Ah, Nwofor has only just missed out. The Briton places 13th overall.
Behind, there's a horrible fall for Norway's Lovise Skarbovik Andresen, who is able to get back to her feet but is absolutely devastated.

"I stumbled out of the blocks - that start was terrible. My coach is screaming at the moment. It is going to be a tricky way [through] with that time.
"It is what it is, and you have got to roll with the punches. I am going to have to hang tight and see what happens."
Women's 100m hurdles first round
Norway's Martine Kolbeinshavn Hjornevik takes the second heat in 12.82 seconds.

The Italian, Celeste Polzonetti, took some time to get herself through that field. Into that headwind and 12.80 is not far off her lifetime best. I was down on the track a short time ago and there was a clear tailwind. We could see these times coming down so drastically.
Women's 100m hurdles first round
Italy's Celeste Polzonetti doesn't get off to the greatest start but finishes superbly to take the win in the opening women's 100m hurdles heat.
Clocking 12.80 seconds, she's followed across the line by Denmark's Ida Beiter Bomme and Norwegian Elea Jorstad Bock.
Britain's Emma Nwofor is fourth in 13.04 and now must wait to see how the next two races play out...

Time for our first event on the track tonight.
We've got three heats in the women's 100m hurdles first round. The top 12 progress through to the semi-finals, where they'll meet 12 top-ranked athletes who get to skip this stage.
Emma Nwofor of Great Britain goes in heat one - she's in lane seven.
The first track event of the night is 10 minutes from getting started, so here's a little list of everything that's on tonight and the athletes from Great Britain that are involved:
Molly Caudery
Team GB Pole Vaulter on BBC Radio 5 Live
On new guidelines for broadcasters on using more respectful camera angles...
I don't think it should be a real controversial conversation. It is a sensible decision.
It is good for people to be concentrating on the athletes and the results more than angles of what people look like.
I think it is a positive change.
Peter Gillibrand
BBC Newsbeat in Birmingham
As athletes and fans pour into Birmingham from all over Europe, BBC Newsbeat has been speaking to some of them about what happens off track.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has put out new guidelines for broadcasters to use more respectful camera angles when filming live athletic events.
They are being implemented for the first time at the European Athletics Championships, which are being held in Great Britain for the first time.
And for fans like Ruby Weston (right) and Mia Slevin (left), it’s been a long time coming.
“Times do need to change,” says 21-year-old Ruby.
“It’s just so nice to come here today and see how amazing some of these women are and that they are gradually being more respected.”
She feels that coverage should just “showcase the talent”.
The EBU has worked with female athletes to develop the guidelines, which aims to avoid sexualising the action with unnecessary camera angles.
Fellow athletics fans Mia, 23, supports the changes as she says she's at the event to "see sport and to see smiles", not "everyone’s outfits".

I competed here the Commonwealths here in 2022 and I got a silver medal.
The noise you get from a home crowd, that home advantage is a real thing. I think for the athletes that are competing here they're going to love it, and they're going to seize the moment.
The spirit of knowing your whole country is behind you just makes you perform really well. It is the best feeling.
Unfortunately Caudery is not in action at the European Championships, due to injury. You can read more about that here.
Women's hammer qualification
Qualifying in the women's hammer is the next event to get under way.
Reading’s Charlotte Payne, who is deaf and wears a cochlear implant, finished fourth at the Commonwealth Games and will be the third to throw in the second qualification group.
In Krista Tervo and Silja Kosonen, Finland have the two athletes with the best distances this year, while Poland's Anita Wlodarczyk, a three-time Olympic and four-time world and European champion will also expect to be in the mix.
