European Athletics Championships medal table

There are 50 gold medals up for grabs at the 27th European Athletics Championships at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham from 10-16 August.

Great Britain lead the medal table after day two of the Championships with two golds and two silvers.

Amy Hunt and Romell Glave won golds in the 100m events on consecutive days, with Jeremiah Azu also taking silver in the latter event.

Meanwhile, the mixed 4x400m relay team picked up the hosts’ first medal, finishing second on the opening night.

Can Great Britain return to top of the standings?

Dina Asher-Smith (100m), Keely Hodgkinson (800m), the women’s half marathon team and the women’s 4x100m relay squad all won gold as Great Britain came third in the medal table at Rome 2024.

Hosts Italy won 11 golds, and a total of 24 medals, to top the medal table followed by that year’s Olympic hosts France with four golds and 16 medals overall.

GB topped the medal table in Brussels in 1950 and Budapest in 1998 before finishing first at Zurich 2014, Berlin 2018 and Munich 2022, with the championships being held every two years since 2010.

With home advantage for the first time in the championships’ 92-year history, the British team will be hoping to get back on top of the podium.
