Amy Hunt finishes third at Diamond League final with 22.16 seconds after four European Championship golds

In the final moments as Amy Hunt crossed the finish line at the Diamond League final in Brussels, her heart seemed to beat with the last breaths of a long race. 22.16 seconds, just 0.08 seconds off her lifetime best, brought a radiant smile to her post-race press conference. That was not a random number, but a living testament to a four-year journey of an English female athlete who had weathered countless storms to reach the summit. Thirty years after the door to the locker room, I know that the scent of victory and the scent of tears are no different. But today, the scent of victory seemed even sweeter when Amy Hunt shared that the curve she had just executed was 'one of the best bends I have ever done'.
