Amy Hunt is one win away from an unprecedented European quadruple after the British 4x100m women's relay team won gold in style on a night of back-to-back triumphs for the hosts.
Dina Asher-Smith also became the joint most-decorated athlete in European Athletics Championships history in the same race, won by the British quartet of Asher-Smith, Hunt, Success Eduan and Imani-Lara Lansiquot in 42.05 seconds.
It takes Asher-Smith's total to 10 medals, joining Polish sprinter Irena Szewinska, though the former has two more golds with seven.

The Britons, whose race got off to a slightly delayed start after a win in the equivalent men's race, also had to wait for a review to confirm their triumph.
Switzerland took silver in 43.12s and bronze went to Poland in 43.15 seconds.
Hunt, who sealed a European sprint double earlier in the week, when asked about the possibility of becoming the first British athlete to win four golds in a single European Championships, said: "Hopefully! We'll have to chat to the coaches about tomorrow, but I'm so, so happy for tonight.
"It was incredible to come together with these so inspiring ladies. Everyone had so much going on. We got a midwifery degree, psychology degree, history degree, and this girl [Lansiquot] wrote a play.
"It's such a privilege to be able to step on the track with these ladies and the individual superpowers that we bring. It's no joke. We've had all superwomen together out there, and yeah, it was so much fun."
Asher-Smith said she would have to wait to see if she was selected for Sunday's inaugural European mixed 4x100m relay, but appreciated she could become the outright top medal-winner in the 92-year history of the European Championships.
The 2019 200m world champion, who was runner-up to Hunt in Birmingham, said: "That was my aim, honestly, coming into this season. I knew that with the last European Championships, I was getting a bit close, so it was just in my vision board, but not in the forefront.
"I'm proud to have done it. It's been over a decade of hard work with some incredible ladies and incredible championships. So yeah, I'm very happy."
British record-holder Asher-Smith got the hosts started with an opening leg of 11.37s, fastest of the first 100m, before handing the baton to Hunt, who was the fastest of the British quartet with a 10.10s second leg.
They briefly dropped to second behind the Swiss during Success Eduan's 10.43s third leg, and there was a bit of awkwardness with the handover, before Imani-Lara Lansiquot blitzed to the finish in 10.15s.
