    Three golds in one night? Team GB you are really spoiling us.

    It might not be the same feast of precious metal tomorrow.

    But with William Sharman, Lawrence Clarke and Andy Turner all in the 110m hurdles semi-finals ahead of Thursday's final and Goldie Sawyers aiming for her back fence in the javelin, there might be more baggage to be booked in on Team GB's return flight.

    We'll be back with live text from around 16:30 BST with live video throughout the day on both BBC Two and online. Enjoy.

    "We might be on track for one of our best medal hauls ever at a European Championships, and we're only on day two. Jo Pavey set the ball rolling in the 10,000m last night, and we've followed that up tonight with some tremendous performances."

    Robert Harting, a bear of man himself, could show Cooly a thing or two about hurdling. The German celebrated his discus gold at London 2012 by leaping over the barriers, ripping off his vest and getting roaring drunk.

    Zurich prepare yourselves.

    Harting has just bagged European gold, beating Estonia's Gerd Kanter and Poland's Robert Urbanek with a throw of 66.07m.

    Reflecting on her gold medal, Tiffany Porter on BBC Two: "This is very special, I'd not won gold before so I'm thrilled to finally get one.

    "The true mark of an athlete is to perform when it matters most. I'm so pleased to come away with a gold, I'm very happy. When you see your team-mates doing so well it really spurs you on in your event. It's very satisfying to win.

    "I'm just so happy and it's a big thanks to everybody who has helped me to get here. I'm beyond ecstatic right now and I can't wait to get onto the top of that podium."

    Time for a quick whip-round to cover the medals that were won while we were looking elsewhere on compacted night of action.

    France's defending champion and indoor world champion Eloyse Lesueur has bagged the women's long jump crown while Belarus's Andrei Krauchanka, a silver medallist at Beijing 2008, is the men's decathlon champion.

    Krauchanka's telephone number ends in his personal best decathlon score of 8617. He has narrowly missed having to text everyone his new digits after finishing with a score of 8616.

    Harry Aikines-Aryeetey on BBC Two reflecting on his bronze medal: "I've got my medal. I'm kind of speechless. I want to congratulate James on his gold, because we've both grown up together.

    "This is a landmark night for me. I've got to thank my coach and physio and the National Lottery funding for enabling me to be in this situation right now."

    James Dasaolu on BBC Two reflecting on his 100m gold: "It's a lovely feeling to be European Champion. I'm still trying to take it all in. I didn't get a good start in the race but battled through to win. I'm so happy.

    "Track and field always has its up and downs, I've had injuries and didn't know if I'd be able to compete this season so it's a lovely feeling to come away with a gold, my first senior medal outdoors.

    "It's onwards and upwards. To be honest, I'm still trying to take it all in."

    The rain comes sleeting down as Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and James Dasaolu finish thanking various pockets of British fans for coming.

    The women's 100m ceremony is going to be squeezed in before we call it a day. The Netherlands' Dafne Schippers is on the top step, but her smile is not as wide as Britain's Ashleigh Nelson in bronze.

    The Dutch national anthem by the way sounds not unlike the Twelve Days of Christmas. Festive.

    Dwain Chambers on BBC Two after finishing fourth in the 100m final: "It was tough but I gave it my all and that's all I could do. I'm not sure how I missed out, I'll have to look at the replay, but that's just the nature of the sport.

    "We don't train to finish outside the medals, we train to get on the podium. In sport you win some, you lose some and you have to treat those impostors the same. We still have the relay.

    "Congratulations to James and Harry for their medals. I was in their position many moons ago and that's they way the cookie crumbles."

    Harry Aikines-Aryeetey is bouncing on his lap of honour, jabbing celebratory fingers into the stands. James Dasaolu is a lot more circumspect, stalking the perimeter wrapped in the Union Jack, looking like it is the least he expected.

    "I think Dwain Chambers had a medal there, but did he just fade? That chest of Harry's has finally been put to good use, out-leaning Dwain."

    It was a clinical run from James Dasaolu. The slo-mo replay shows him with cheeks bouncing and arms swinging loose as he stays calm and collected and lets his natural style gather speed that no-one else in the field can match. His winning time was 10.06 seconds.

    "Harry Aikines-Aryeetey has had criticism about his big chest but that got him on the podium tonight after having a big look at where Dwain Chambers was. Finally he has delivered on his promise. He's gone down on all fours - it clearly means a lot to him."

    "Great Britain has a new sprint star. We knew about his talent, can he convert? Yes he can. It's chilly, it's cold but he's going to feel mightily warmed by that gold medal."

    After the landmark times, James Dasaolu finally has a major title to go with his credentials as the second-fastest Briton of all time.

    Christophe Lemaitre takes silver with Harry Aikines-Aryeety pipping Dwain Chambers for silver.

    Dwain Chambers is stony-faced as his name is read out. He has a lane eight draw to contend with. This might be his last chance of a major gold medal....
