Italy put everything into that qualification, making sure they put down a marker.

I think probably while we're here we're all talking about the Brits going out there and going to win.

The Italians turned around and asked the questions. 'What are you going to bring in the final because we're running fast?'

The Europeans are a great opportunity for some of the younger names or newer names to come in.

We know Dina Asher-Smith is going to come into this team, but you get to blood athletes, you have that opportunity for them to experience a crowd and to get on the track and gel as a team, which is a hugely important part of it.

These qualifications, as long as you get through safely it is a brilliant place to get experience.

We are individual performers, and Amy Hunt loves to go out there and be centre stage. The dynamic is very different. You're now a collective and it is about performing together.

On Great Britain's morning session form...

The relay is about gelling as a collective.

We all know their sensational runners in their own right. To be able to bring that energy, atmosphere and connection between each of the runners is important.

You felt that here - it was smooth and there was no drama. They did the business and got through to the final.

Great Britain's Amy Hunt, speaking to BBC Sport: "Shake out the legs. I love the relay and it is such a pressure and a privilege to do it with these girls. It is such a special opportunity to soak in the crowd again and qualify for the final amazingly."

Did someone say iconic? Double sprint champion Amy Hunt is seeking the third of an unprecedented four golds at a single European Championships, while victory for Great Britain would give Dina Asher-Smith a record-equalling seventh title (joining Jakob Ingebrigtsen and discus thrower Sandra Elkasevic).

A medal of any colour for Asher-Smith would match the all-time high of 10 by Polish ex-sprinter Irena Szewinska.

The biggest threat to the defending champions will likely be Olympic and world bronze medallists Germany.

And now, it's the women's turn...

That is one of the slowest winning times in about 20 years.

Zharnell Hughes was celebrating as soon as he gave the baton to Romell Glave for the anchor leg.

That is the fifth European gold of Hughes' career.

Romell Glave did not hesitate and he absolutely delivered. For me, it was a strong performance from Britain. What a result for Great Britain.

Romell Glave brings Great Britain and Ireland home. They deliver as favourites.

Over to Romell Glave. GB lead...

GO! GO! GO!

The relay teams are out and ready to go...

Jeremiah Azu, who sealed silver in the 100m earlier this week, will kick off the running for Great Britain and he gets a huge cheer as his name is read out.

The hosts are the favourites here, but they'll need to be wary of Germany.

Ready?

It is fair to say from what we have seen in qualification and the way they have been running individually. I think we would be disappointed if they didn't come away with a gold medal.

Another medal chance has gone for Britain unfortunately.

Morgan Lake fails three times at 1.92m, which means she finishes eighth in the high jump.

We know Louie Hinchliffe is an incredibly fast athlete, so obviously when he's fit, healthy and able to go, then you're going to want him in and around that team.

Obviously, historically with the British relay we have had a few problems. Recently it has been fantastic. You're hoping that they speed them up a bit more, they are quite slick.

Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes, who sealed silver in the 200m last night, were part of the team that won European gold in 2022.

Hughes was also part of the gold-medal winning quartet in 2018 - the same year he won the men's 100m.

Another win tonight would move Hughes level with Mo Farah, Matthew Hudson-Smith and Roger Black on five gold European medals.

The strangest end to a javelin competition I have ever seen.

That throw from Julian Weber has broken the European record held by... Steve Backley!

Records are there to be broken, Steve.
