"Deep down, Dwain knows how to rise to the occasion. He knows there's an opportunity and anything can happen in a final. He knows the end is nigh in terms of his career and he would love to go out on a high."

The final event on the track tonight is the 100m final and, whisper it quietly, a third British gold of the night is a distinct possibility.

James Dasaolu was the class of the qualifiers. Harry Aikines-Aryeety won his own semi-final and national champion Dwain Chambers won silver here 16 years ago.

In the absence of fellow Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut, Christophe Lemaitre is the main threat.

Meanwhile Usain Bolt has broken cover.

The Jamaican sprint uberstar is breaking out his own trademark celebration and chatting to the crowd over the microphone. Looks like he is over his night out in London., external

Mo Farah on BBC Radio 5 live: "It's been pretty bad being in hospital for four days and not knowing what's going on. But I got over it. I've had massive support, from my coach and particularly from my family, my wife and my kids. The support of the family means so much to me."

If Cooly the Cow comes charging across the field at you, leaping the wall won't make you safe.

The Zurich 2014 mascot has been showing off his hurdling technique again and if you have seen a better bovine athlete over the barriers you are a more worldly man than me.

France's Cindy Billaud, finished three hundredth of a second behind Tiffany Porter in a time of 12.79.

She is in tears as she contemplates her second place. Tears of joy? Perhaps not.

Her best this season is a punchy 12.56 seconds and, running into only a slight headwind, that is enough to leave her wondering what might have been.

Never mind. Britain's healthy lead in the organisers' slightly confusing medal table just got a little larger., external

Andy Vernon on BBC Two discussing his silver medal: "When you come to these races it's a bit of a lottery because you're not sure what kind of form people are in, and you're not sure what will happen.

"I came out second and I'm pretty happy. I thought I might get to eight kilometres and fall apart, but I just hung in there and I managed to beat all the athletes but one. It means a lot.

"It's months and years of hard dedication. It's a great job to have and I love it, but you've got to get up on those cold January mornings to train and it takes a lot of motivation to do that day in, day out. It's days like this where it pays off and it's brilliant."

"Tiffany will be very emotional about this, it's been a long time coming for her to stand on the top of that rostrum. The race was won right from the off.

"There was no way the field could claw the distance back once she took the lead. Technically it wasn't the best of races from her but she's a great competitor and hauled herself through. She stamped her authority on the race and it's all about those winter nights putting in the work that's finally paid off."

"I think Tiffany Porter was disappointed with what happened at the Commonwealth Games because she had a chance to beat Sally Pearson. I think she was desperate to make up for that.

"Sometimes when you look in an athlete's eyes you can see that determination and she used that Commonwealth Games experience as a positive."

Tiffany Porter goes hard from the gun and snuffs out the threat of Cindy Billaud in the opening 40m. The Briton had enough in the bag to hold off the Frenchwoman's late surge.

Britain's Tiffany Porter on BBC Two: "I know I can compete with the best in the world. This year has been so hectic, I couldn't dwell on how I'd done indoor because we had the Commonwealth's coming up. I was super thrilled with the silver in Glasgow, but I didn't execute the best race. I was happy, but I have work to do here at the European Championships."

Next up, is the women's 100m hurdles final and there is a good chance the result could get God Save the Queen back on the jukebox.

It could well be a straight slug-out between world bronze medallist Tiffany Porter and France's Cindy Billaud.

The medal ceremony for the men's 10,000m gets under way.

Two moments of slight comedy ensue.

Firstly Great Britain's silver medallist almost gets a accidental kiss off the male Swiss dignitary who chooses to clamber actually onto the podium to hand over his gong.

Then as God Save the Queen plays and the flags take some time to rise, Mo Farah has a nagging concern that he is facing the wrong way and checks over his shoulder to make sure the Union Jack is not appearing behind him.

Ross Fraser, external: "As good as it is seeing Mo back on the track, I'm more pleased with Andy Vernon getting silver."

Ashleigh Nelson's bronze medal earlier this evening makes her the first female British sprinter to visit the European Championships 100m podium in 40 years.

It is a Polish one-two is the second semi-final as Adam Kszczot and Marcin Lewandowski join compatriot Artur Kuciapski in the 800m final.

Bosnia's Amel Tuka takes third.

More from Mo Farah on BBC Two: "This means a lot to me, it's not been an easy time so it means a lot. The European champs have been good to me and given me a lot of confidence in my career along the way.

"You can't forget where you started from. I'm excited for the 5k now and I want to thank a lot of people for supporting me. My family's been there for me, we've gone through a lot of emotions and it's great to have some people like that behind me."

Mo Farah on BBC Two: "It means a lot to me. Two weeks ago, there was a doubt I'd compete here after pulling out of the Commonwealths, but this meant a lot to me.

"I wanted to run the Commonwealth Games, but couldn't so this meant a lot to me. I didn't want to let people down and I let the those down who bought tickets because I said I was going to be there but I didn't go. I felt I let a lot of people down. They want to come and see you, I felt for them."

There are no Britons in the 800m semi-finals. France's Pierre-Ambroise Bosse takes the first though with Ireland's Mark English, 21, just run out of one of the three automatic qualifying spots by Denmark's Andreas Bube. English may get a ticket to Friday's final though as one of two fastest losers.

"The young British sprinting talent is coming through. At the start of the season Ashleigh Nelson probably would have been well down the list for a medal at these championships so it's all credit to her."
