Great Britain's Daryll Neita wins women's 200m silver and Megan Keith wins 10,000m bronze at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
Daryll Neita came within one hundredth of a second of a first major title as the Briton claimed 200m silver at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
Neita's silver secured Great Britain's 11 medal overall, on the fifth and penultimate night of action in the Italian capital.Having won five global medals as an ever-present in the British women's 4x100m team, including two Olympic bronzes, it is now individual honours that Neita is targeting as she builds towards Paris 2024.
Keith will make her Olympic debut this summer after taking victory at the Night of the 10,000m PBs in May, which doubled as the Olympic trials for the event. The 28-year-old was contesting her first major final after a distressing week, with twin sister Laviai revealing in an emotional interview following her 400m final on Monday that their coach, Tony Lester, recently suffered a cardiac arrest.
There was also a championship record for Norway's Olympic and three-time world champion Karsten Warholm in the men's 400m hurdles final. The hugely popular Olympic and world champion, who shaves half his beard for major finals, was the only athlete to clear 2.31m.
