But tomorrow can wait, because, for now, it's all about Jo Pavey's Terrific Tuesday.

Forty years old, a mother of two and now the European 10,000m champion. Quite brilliant. Goodnight.

Remember Super Saturday? How does a Wonderful Wednesday grab you? Great Britain have a genuine chance of three gold medals, with Mo Farah going in the 10,000m, Tiffany Porter in the 100m hurdles and the trio of Dwain Chambers, James Dasaolu and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey in the 100m.

There will be live coverage on BBC Two and online from 09:00 BST tomorrow, with the live text getting under way for the evening session at about 16:30.

There have been two gold medals won on this first day of the European Athletics Championships, one to Great Britain and Jo Pavey. That's your lot for tonight, but let me mark your card for tomorrow...

Jo Pavey speaking to BBC Two: "I can't believe it I am just thrilled. I was finding it quite a long way, I thought it was the wrong event at one point! It was really emotional to have my daughter Emily watch me for the first time. We thought she might be scared, but decided to gamble it.

"I was feeling tired, but I had to try and keep relaxed and remind myself that everyone else might be feeling the pace. When I got to the home straight I just kept my eyes on the line and concentrated on giving it my all.

"To try for so many years and to finally do it at the age of 40 is funny really. I should have learned how it do it by now."

"Tiffany's got a nice little groove going on with her technique there and she can relax. It's a strong performance and I think there's still a little bit more in the tank."

Tiffany Porter on BBC Two: "The most important thing is to get to the final, that was my first task. Now I want to look forward to getting better tomorrow.

"Medals are not won in the semis, so I have to get better."

That sends a message to the rest. Tiffany Porter wins her semi-final at a canter. 12.63 seconds, a season's best and faster than Billaud's time to win the first semi. The final is on Wednesday at 20:34.

Right then, Tiffany Porter on the track for the last action of the evening. Lane three for Porter, the Commonwealth silver-medallist. "On your marks..."

Wendy Andre:, external What a wonderful race! So well run by Jo Pavey, amazing athlete. Total determination.

Chris Perry:, external Absolutely magnificent! Jo Pavey flying the flag for us 40 year olds!

Three through automatically, plus two fastest losers. Frances's Cilly Billaud, the fastest in Europe this year, leads the way from Germany's Cindy Roleder (if you're going to hurdle, you probably best be called Cindy) and the Netherlands' Rosina Hodde. Tiffany Porter up next, she has the best season's best in her semi.

Zurich is buzzing after that wonderful run by Jo Pavey and the athletes in the semi-finals of the women's 110m hurdles will benefit. Two semis here, Britain's Tiffany Porter going in the second.

Pavey, by the way, is also scheduled to be running the 5,000m. A Mo Farah-style double on the cards?

Tom Yeates: , externalActually quite emotional about that performance from Jo Pavey. Absolutely superb

Alison Enticknap:, external Wonderful Jo Pavey. Gold in the 10k at 40 years old. Showing those whippersnappers how it's done!

Nomdy Plume:, external Right. I'm aiming for Rio gold in the triple jump. I'm inspired.

Lovely, lovely scenes as Jo Pavey finds her way through the crowd to her husband and two daughters, think the climb of a Wimbledon champion to the players' box. A big cuddle. She is signing autographs, lapping up being centre of attention. Great scenes.

Samantha Walsh:, external Jo Pavey, that was INCREDIBLE. Absolutely brilliant. So so delighted.

Charlotte Grant:, external Jo Pavey you are amazing! I don't think I've smiled so much watching someone win a gold medal. You deserve it what a champion.

Aidan Beck:, external Don't usually watch athletics, but that was some effort by Jo Pavey!

"It was a really really smart race from Jo Pavey. She watched all the moves and saved all her energies until she was ready to make her own attack with a lap to go. It was very canny, very clever."

The time? Who cares? But for the record let's mark it as 32:22.39. It was a France two-three, with Clemence Calvin taking silver and Laila Traby the bronze.

Jo Pavey poses with the Union flag, the centre of attention for so many photographers. She's just run 10,000m, but she still has the energy for a lap of honour, waving to the crowd.

"What a way to win it. She won it in such style, she tracked Calvin, and then went with a lap to go, sensing that there was her first gold medal to be won. She had to dig in a couple of times down the back straight as Calvin came back at her, but the power, speed and determination carries her home with distance to spare."
