00:00Louis Hinchcliffe played his part as Great Britain stormed to gold in the men's 4x100m relay at the European Athletics
00:09Championships in Birmingham.
00:11Hinchcliffe ran the second leg as GB's quartet of Jeremiah Azu, Hinchcliffe, Zarnel Hughes and Rommel Glaive clocked an impressive
00:1938.45 second finish to come above Germany and Belgium.
00:26Here's what the young athletes had to say.
00:29It means a lot obviously like the time is a championship, the times don't matter, just getting the gold is
00:35the main priority in this.
00:37So to get the gold, yes, that's got the job done basically, yeah, that's what we expected.
00:42And for you personally as well to have a medal, the other three have got individual medals, you've now got
00:47one as well, you can join the club.
00:49Yeah, yeah, I guess I can, yeah, I can join the club now, yeah, it was good, it was good
00:53to get out there and get a medal.
00:55What can you tell us about the race, changeovers and everything okay?
00:58Yeah, I think it's always going to be messy in the final, so yeah, it wasn't as fast as the
01:04heat, but the conditions, man, it's like Birmingham late at night, it's going to be cold, isn't it?
01:10How have you enjoyed these championships?
01:13It's been good, obviously it didn't go the way I wanted the individual, my buddy wasn't there after the Diamond
01:18League.
01:18I had the hamstring pull, so it was hard for me to get back to fitness, but to finish on
01:24both men and women getting gold medals on the relay, I think that's all we could ask for.
