In an Instagram post, he said: “Wow, what a feeling! We did it, European Championships!”

Then, in a second post, he added: “One team! One nation! One family! 4x100m, still buzzing.”

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake was also part of the Great Britain team during the event, with the 24-year-old picking up silver during the 200m.

This is Aikines-Aryeety's second gold medal at the European Athletics Championships after claiming gold during the 2014 edition in Zürich, Switzerland.

Gemili, who used to attend Dartford Grammar School, was also in that squad and achieved a winning time of 37.93 seconds.
