GBs Azu claims 60m gold as Robertson wins bronze

Jeremiah Azu is a two-time European under-23 100m champion

Great Britains Jeremiah Azu claimed mens 60m gold at the European Athletics Indoor Championships to land his first individual international title, as team-mate Andrew Robertson won bronze.

Azu, 23, ran a personal best of 6.49 seconds to cross the line ahead of Swedens Henrik Larsson in 6.52, with Robertson third in 6.55 in Saturday nights final.

Having qualified fastest from the morning heats, Azu made a further statement by setting a European-leading time and then personal best 6.52 secs in the semi-finals.

But he saved his best for the medal race, which took place just two and a half hours later, to clinch GBs first gold in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.

Azu becomes the ninth British man to win the title - and first since Richard Kilty won back-to-back titles in 2017.

The Welshmans triumph follows bronze medals for 1500m runner Revee Walcott-Nolan and the mixed 4x400m relay quartet.
