Keely Hodgkinson added the European 800m title to her collection with a commanding victory in Birmingham on Saturday.
Dominant Display
The 24-year-old, who already holds Olympic and world gold medals, took the lead early and never looked back, crossing the line in a championship record time of 1:55.61.
Her winning margin was nearly two seconds, with Great Britain's Jemma Reekie taking silver and Poland's Anna Wielgosz finishing third.
Home Crowd Delight
The home crowd at the Alexander Stadium erupted as Hodgkinson celebrated her first major title on British soil. She described the win as "special" and dedicated it to the fans who had supported her throughout the week.
Hodgkinson's victory was one of the highlights of the championships for the host nation, which also celebrated golds in the men's 4x100m relay and the women's hammer throw.
