That's it from us for this evening. Not quite the gold rush of wonderful Wednesday, but a silver medal is not to be sniffed at. There will be more athletics on Friday and it's a biggie with 10 gold medals up for grabs and there could, just could, be a host of British winners. Adam Gemili in the men's 200m perhaps? Martyn Rooney or Matthew Hudson-Smith in the men's 400m perhaps? Christine Ohuruogu in the women's 400m final perhaps? She couldn't? Could she?

More from European silver medallist Will Sharman: "Going into this I was bronze medal hopeful but the good thing is that we've been working on improving my absolute time so that if I do make a mistake in the final I can still come away with a medal.

"I am taking it down all the time and I think there's still more to come. On the start line I was quite tired, having done a personal best not long before, and I wanted just one more effort. When you're drained and the chips are down you have to produce your best result and I almost did."

Will Sharman speaking to BBC Sport after winning silver in the 110m hurdles: "I kind of got away with it when I slapped the hurdle with the trailing leg but that exposed the next hurdle which I hit with my lead. It's mixed emotions because I knew I was in the lead, I knew where Shubenkov is good and I knew where I was stronger and I didn't expect to be in the lead in the middle section. I could have done more and that's why I was gutted."

Lawrence Clarke speaking to BBC Sport after withdrawing from the final of the 110m hurdles: "In the warm-up for the final I strained my hamstring slightly and if I ran it would tear so I had to walk away.

"That was a very scrappy final and if I hadn't had the injuries I had last year I could have been there, but hopefully I can be back for the World Championships next year."

Lawrence Clarke explains he tweaked a hamstring during the warm-up and was advised not to race in the 110m hurdles final.

Pre-race favourite Pascal Martinot-Lagarde ends the evening without a medal, pushed into fourth spot by his compatriot Dimitri Bascou who clocks 13.28sec for bronze.

"It's terribly frustrating. Sharman did have that race and we knew Shubenkov was going to get out strong. He had to stay calm and relaxed and one of his massive assets is that he usually keeps it perfectly under control at the back end of the race.

"Shubenkov ran the cleanest race, virtually no mistakes. Will's a silver medallist but he will look back on this season and think he could be a champion twice."

"William Sharman had that won and knew that but he smashed the seventh hurdle and it threw his rhythm. He got out of the blocks like a bullet and was hurdling beautifully but as soon as he hit it he lost momentum."

"It was like nobody wanted to win that. They were all hitting hurdles and then Sergey Shubenkov was probably the only one that ran a clean enough race to get there.

"He seems happy enough but surely Will thinks he could have won that."

Sharman was shaking his head on the finishing line, an opportunity missed once more, and he's still asking his camp what his position was. He quickly learns he's won silver and so, smiling, collects an Union flag.

Will Sharman looked set for gold halfway through the race after a brilliant start, but his trail leg clattered into the seventh barrier and Sergey Shubenkov overtook him to defend his European title. A silver for Sharman.

"Will Sharman has got to focus on his strengths. It doesn't matter if Sergey Shubenkov gets away from him at the third or fourth hurdle.

"If he doesn't chase them and just enjoys what's happening he's in with a good chance of getting one of the serious medals."

The hurdles are all in place, the finalists have finished their warm-ups and are being introduced to the crowd. Can Will Sharman upset the odds and beat Pascal Martinot-Lagarde? Lawrence Clarke, though, does not start. The Briton is not on the start line.

Germany's Linda Stahl has the last throw of the competition, but she can't beat Barbora Spotakova's 64.41m effort so the Olympic champion becomes the European champion and the 33-year-old Czech celebrates by running towards her family.

We have movement! The leaderboard, at long last, has changed! Exciting times ahead. Two-time Olympic champion Barbora Spotakova sails into top spot with a 64.41m fifth throw. Serbia's Tatjana Jelaca creeps into second spot thanks to a 64.21m effort while Linda Stahl is third.

"Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad just finds a way to make people hate him even more. He's got history and he just winds people up. Taking off his vest, swinging it around his head and taking the last hurdle was just out of order."

The breaking news is that Spain have issued a protest against Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad after the Frenchman removed his vest while sauntering down the home straight towards steeplechase victory. Spain's Angel Mullera would be promoted to third should the Frenchman be booted out.

"Goldie Sayers is very close to that line but bailing out too quickly. She's capable but Goldie will need to improve on that third-round throw.

"The problem is in the run-up. She's got to move it back."

Goldie Sayers has been unable to improve on her third-round throw of 58.33m. No-one has really made any great strides as the competition has progressed, with Linda Stahl still leading thanks to her first-time 63.91m throw.
