European athletics championships: Jakob Ingebrigtsen retains 5000m title in eventful evening in Munich - As it happened

It was a night to remember on the second day of the European athletics championships.

All of the six gold medals awarded on Tuesday (16 August) at the Olympiastadion were done so in exciting fashion.

The 100m men's and women's finals were a highlight with Italy's Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs proving his doubters wrong after returning from injury to win the event he claimed in Tokyo. The home crowd had more than enough to cheer about when 25-year-old Gina Luckenkemper of Germany claimed a shock win in the women's 100m.

It was an evening of title defending for Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the 5,000m and Mitiadis Tentoglou of Greece in the long jump. Two-time Olympic champion Sandra Perkovic also claimed a record-breaking sixth consecutive European title in women's discus throw.

A thrilling women's 100m final saw 25-year-old Gina Luckenkemper crowned European champion in front of a loud and proud home crowd in Munich.

The German narrowly claimed the gold medal in a photo finish which resulted in her falling and needing medical attention after crossing the line.

Three-time defending Euro champion Dina Asher-Smith of Great Britain limped across the line in last position: "I got cramps in both my calves, I’ve never cramped in my life during a race and it might have something to do with my hydration so I’m going back and check with my team," she said after the race.

The 21-year-old sat in the middle of the pack for most of the race until moving to the front and not letting the lead go. He crossed the line in 13:21.13 ahead of Spain's Mohamed Katir (13:22.98) and Italy's Yemaneberhan Crippa, who took bronze.
