Mo Farah and James Dasaolu both won European gold to continue Great Britain’s best ever start to a major athletics championships, a seven-medal haul with more likely in the coming days.
‘We’re all feeding off each other,’ said Dasaolu. ‘Everyone’s feeling positive.’
Farah won the 10,000 metres title just ahead of team-mate Andy Vernon to rescue a lacklustre season and emulate the success of Jo Pavey in the women’s race on Tuesday. Dasaolu then won the 100m with a relieved Harry Aikines-Aryeetey taking bronze.
