Assessing Great Britain's Form as the Olympics Approach.

Keely Hodgkinson and Dina Asher-Smith stood out as some of Great Britain's top Olympic medal prospects during their preparations for Paris 2024 at the European Athletics Championships in Rome.

In a stellar final night for the British team at the European Athletics Championships in Rome, Keely Hodgkinson, 22, overcame illness to defend her 800m title, while Dina Asher-Smith claimed her second gold as part of the women's 4x100m relay team.

Daryll Neita narrowly missed out on a sprint double, securing silver in the 200m, and Molly Caudery continued her impressive streak with a bronze in pole vault, marking her second consecutive medal at major championships.

Overall, Team GB secured a respectable third place on the medal table, bagging four golds and a total of 13 medals across six days of competition.

These performances at the Stadio Olimpico offer insights into how Team GB is shaping up as they gear up for the Paris Games, which are just seven weeks away.
