Amy Hunt

British sprinter Amy Hunt expressed concern that a new sports betting advert starring Sydney Sweeney could act as a barrier for girls in sport. She highlighted the high dropout rate among young females and called for role models that focus on ability rather than appearance.

Great Britain’s Amy Hunt claimed the 200m gold at the European Championships in Birmingham, adding to her earlier 100m title and becoming the first athlete to win four golds at a single edition of the tournament. She finished in 22.19 seconds, while compatriot Dina Asher‑Smith took bronze and Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke earned silver.
