Team Italy may currently be at the top of the medals table at the European Athletics Championships, with an incredible 19 medals thus far, but Team GB have certainly given them a run for their money, with just one less gold and a grand total of 14 heading into the final day.

There are 10 golds to be won in Birmingham on Sunday, meaning it will be a sprint to the finish line - quite literally, in a lot of cases.
Team GB last topped the table in Munich in 2022, but with the home advantage, do they have what it takes to do so again, and add to their record as the most successful nation in the 92-year history of the championships?
Remarkably, Birmingham 2026 is the first time the event has been held in the UK, and it has been quite the championships. But what is scheduled for the final day?
Radio Times brings you our guide to the athletics schedule today at the European Athletics Championships 2026.
