British sprinter Amy Hunt stormed to 100-metre gold on the first day of the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.
The 24-year-old world 200m silver medallist beat defending champion and compatriot Dina Asher-Smith, who finished fifth in Monday night's final, just after Great Britain secured their first medal of the championships with silver in the mixed 4x400m relay.
Hunt crossed the line in exactly 11 seconds, two hundredths of a second faster than Poland's Ewa Swoboda, while Belgium's Delphine Nkansa rounded out the podium.
"It feel so sweet. I have had such a string of silvers and I was starting to get a bit fed up with it, so I thought it was time for gold," Hunt told the BBC.
"My parents gifted me these gold earrings to finally level up, because I wear all-silver jewellery. They said it was time for gold -- they left me that note two nights ago -- so it made me quite emotional.
"It was definitely time for me to come of age here and win the gold."
There was also a glittering comeback for Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who came out on top in the men's 5000m, his first race since last year's world championships in Tokyo and subsequent Achilles surgery.
