High Hopes for British Athletes at European Athletics Championships

The European Athletics Championships is underway in Zurich and a number of British athletes have travelled there with high hopes of bring back medals.

A number of British athletes, such as Mo Farah, are hoping to take medals home from the European Championships over the coming days.
Also in Zurich is Adam Gemili who just won silver in the 100m at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He will be taking on the reigning champion Christophe Lemaitre in his preferred event, the 200m.
Competing in the high jump is 17-year-old Morgan Lake who was just crowned World Junior heptathlon champion while in the 400m there is 19-year-old Matthew Hudson-Smith.
There is a great deal more young talent taking part, such as Eilidh Child and Lynsey Sharp in the 400m hurdles, and overall it looks as if Team GB could be bringing home a large amount of silverware.
