British athletes earned three gold medals and six medals in total on the second day (July 5) of the European Under-18 Championships in Jerusalem.

Nia Wedderburn-Goodison flew to victory in the 100m with GB team-mate Renee Regis – the daughter of Olympic medallists John Regis and Jenny Stoute – taking bronze.

Wedderburn-Goodison clocked a championship record of 11.39 (1.8) after a wind-assisted 11.30 in the semi-finals. Chelsea Kadiri of Germany ran 11.50 in second as Regis equalled her PB of 11.58.
