Britain's most successful European Championships comes to an end. The future promises much. "Never before has a GB team won more than nine golds or 19 medals in total, but they will leave Zurich with an overall tally of 23 after an afternoon of unparalleled success," writes BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce.
The credits have rolled which means it's time to end this live text commentary. Thanks, as always, for your contributions. Until next time...
Jodie Williams is currently standing on top of the podium, holding a bouquet of yellow sunflowers and sporting precious gold medal around her neck, but before the presentation ceremony Britain's male and female sprinters gathered for a celebratory picture. "Yaaaaass #goldrush" tweeted Jodie Williams.

William Rutherford: Hopefully athletics has been put back on the sporting map! Well done GB and NI.
Paul England: I swear Coolie the mascot has had more coverage than the majority of the athletes.

Greg Rutherford says he was relieved to win long-jump gold because there was so much pressure to perform well. "It is a real sense of relief because I was seeing how well the British team was doing and everybody was saying to me 'you have to go out and do it'. I was so pleased I could."
It's the second major gold medal for Rutherford in a matter of weeks after his success at the Commonwealths. "It has been great and quite a big year because I'm going to become a dad in a couple of months. In fact I hope (girlfriend) Susie hasn't gone into labour with the excitement."

"Our athletes have converted it, smashed it, and we are all absolutely excited and chuffed to bits with it."

As if these Championships needed to get better, they did when the women won 4x400m relay gold in a new British record time.
Asha Philip, who led the team off, was delighted: "I'm so happy. We've been talking about the record for so long and wanted it so badly. I am so proud of these girls because we worked so hard for it. We deserve this, we fought for it."
Team-mate Jodie Williams added: "We've been looking for this national record this whole Championships. Everyone has been talking about how British sprinting has come on in the last year and I think we've proved that in the relays with the medals we've got."
The sprinting, jumping and throwing is over and Britain will leave Zurich with 12 gold medals and the satisfaction of ending these championships as its most successful nation.

Relay team-mate Harry Aikines-Aryeetey is equally as buoyant: "This is a new generation of sprinters and what you are seeing is a whole group of athletes coming together and performing. It is about enjoying ourselves now, then moving forward knowing what we are capable of."
James Ellington, who ran the first leg, is a bit more succinct. "We smashed it," he beams.

Can you ever tire of seeing a British athlete on top of a podium? Nah. It's Mo Farah's turn to pick up his prize for winning the men's 5,000m and two levels below him on the podium is his team-mate Andy Vernon, the bronze medallist. Farah's smile is as broad as that of a first timer.

As well as making sure he gave a shout out to Arsenal for their opening day Premier League victory, Mo Farah says his 5,000m win was "amazing" - not least because he could celebrate it with his twin daughters.
"They are almost two now and it is the first time they've been old enough to properly watch me race," Farah said. "I got a kiss off them at the end and it was great to have my family with me."
On his win - which makes him the most successful individual athlete in the history of the European Championships - Farah added: "There have been some down times this year but I've got over it. Training has gone well in the last couple of weeks and that gave me confidence. History is important to me and it feels great to make my country proud."

Men's 5,000m bronze medallist Andy Vernon reveals he had a game-plan to beat team-mate Mo Farah and take gold. "I feel I almost missed out in the 10,000m when I got silver, so I came into this thinking I won't let that happen again," he said.
"I had a plan to win the gold. But it got to the last 800m and the wheels slowly started to come off. I was surprised I held on for bronze in the end.
"But to get two medals is brilliant. I wish one of them could have been gold but when you are racing against the best you have to accept a silver and a bronze is good."

What a wonderful summer it's been for Eilidh Child and the Scot must be getting used to seeing her face on the front and back pages.
"At last the sort of weather one associates with athletics at the Letzigrund - warm sunshine, little breeze, a dream meteorological mix for fast times and big jumps. GB performance director Neil Black told me at the start of the week that his team would perform better than two years ago (four golds) but not as well as Barcelona 2010 (six).
"Instead, with seven golds already stashed back at the team hotel and a very real chance of at least four more this afternoon, the all-time best of nine (1990, 1998) could easily be overhauled. Quite some afternoon in prospect."

Britain's most successful European Championships comes to an end. The future promises much. "Never before has a GB team won more than nine golds or 19 medals in total, but they will leave Zurich with an overall tally of 23 after an afternoon of unparalleled success," writes BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce.
The credits have rolled which means it's time to end this live text commentary. Thanks, as always, for your contributions. Until next time...

David White: What a brilliant afternoon in Zurich, Team GB has done fab. Well done to all concerned - athletes and support staff.
Andrew: I too thought Greg Rutherford was a flash in the pan. He has proven himself in the Commonwealth and Euros. Well done.
William Rutherford: Hopefully athletics has been put back on the sporting map! Well done GB and NI.
Paul England: I swear Coolie the mascot has had more coverage than the majority of the athletes.

Greg Rutherford says he was relieved to win long-jump gold because there was so much pressure to perform well. "It is a real sense of relief because I was seeing how well the British team was doing and everybody was saying to me 'you have to go out and do it'. I was so pleased I could."
It's the second major gold medal for Rutherford in a matter of weeks after his success at the Commonwealths. "It has been great and quite a big year because I'm going to become a dad in a couple of months. In fact I hope (girlfriend) Susie hasn't gone into labour with the excitement."

It is little wonder British Athletics' performance director Neil Black looks content as he talks on BBC One. "We came here wanting to be competitive and we have converted in so many circumstances where people had genuine medal prospects.
"There is huge support from coaches doing brilliant work with athletes, the confidence ... it is unbelievable.

As if these Championships needed to get better, they did when the women won 4x400m relay gold in a new British record time.
Asha Philip, who led the team off, was delighted: "I'm so happy. We've been talking about the record for so long and wanted it so badly. I am so proud of these girls because we worked so hard for it. We deserve this, we fought for it."
Team-mate Jodie Williams added: "We've been looking for this national record this whole Championships. Everyone has been talking about how British sprinting has come on in the last year and I think we've proved that in the relays with the medals we've got."

Adam Gemili sums up the confidence among Briton's sprinters, winning gold in the men's 4x100m relay and telling BBC One: "It is fantastic to be part of this team and hopefully we can use this relay victory as a platform to compete with the Americans and the Jamaicans."
Relay team-mate Harry Aikines-Aryeetey is equally as buoyant: "This is a new generation of sprinters and what you are seeing is a whole group of athletes coming together and performing. It is about enjoying ourselves now, then moving forward knowing what we are capable of."
James Ellington, who ran the first leg, is a bit more succinct. "We smashed it," he beams.

Can you ever tire of seeing a British athlete on top of a podium? Nah. It's Mo Farah's turn to pick up his prize for winning the men's 5,000m and two levels below him on the podium is his team-mate Andy Vernon, the bronze medallist. Farah's smile is as broad as that of a first timer.

As well as making sure he gave a shout out to Arsenal for their opening day Premier League victory, Mo Farah says his 5,000m win was "amazing" - not least because he could celebrate it with his twin daughters.
"They are almost two now and it is the first time they've been old enough to properly watch me race," Farah said. "I got a kiss off them at the end and it was great to have my family with me."
On his win - which makes him the most successful individual athlete in the history of the European Championships - Farah added: "There have been some down times this year but I've got over it. Training has gone well in the last couple of weeks and that gave me confidence. History is important to me and it feels great to make my country proud."

Rutherford becomes European long jump champion
Greg Rutherford sprints away in celebration and then jumps in the air at learning he is now the European long jump champion. It's been a golden summer for the Briton. A Commonwealth gold a few weeks ago and now European gold thanks to a 8.20m leap.

400m hurdle gold medallist Eilidh Child tells BBC One that Jo Pavey has to take much of the credit for making this Britain's most successful ever European Championships.

High jump gold for Spain's Beitia
Ruth Beitia puts her name in the history books, becoming the first woman in 52 years to successfully defend a European high jump title. The Spaniard did it in style, setting a world leading 2.01m jump.
Silver was awarded to Russia's Mariya Kuchina (1.99m) and bronze went to Croatia's Ana Simic (1.99m).
Post update
Men's 5,000m bronze medallist Andy Vernon reveals he had a game-plan to beat team-mate Mo Farah and take gold. "I feel I almost missed out in the 10,000m when I got silver, so I came into this thinking I won't let that happen again," he said.
"I had a plan to win the gold. But it got to the last 800m and the wheels slowly started to come off. I was surprised I held on for bronze in the end.
"But to get two medals is brilliant. I wish one of them could have been gold but when you are racing against the best you have to accept a silver and a bronze is good."

"Nobody can live with the sort of pace Mo Farah has. In a slow race like that he has too much speed and too much pace. Well done to Andy Vernon, another medal, what a year he has had."
Fifth Euro gold for Farah
It was a comfortable victory for Farah, although he was being chased on the bend by Azerbaijan's Hayle Ibrahimov. The winning time was 14:05.82 and it's a fifth European championships gold for the Briton, which makes him the most successful individual athlete in the history of the competition.
Gold medal
Farah clinches 5,000m gold
Hayle Ibrahimov dared to challenge but he could not topple the king of the track. It's the familiar sight of a grimacing Farah out in front on the home straight and the Briton completes the double double! Ibrahimov (14:08.32) takes silver and it's a bronze for Andy Vernon (14:09.48).
Men's 5,000m final
Farah serene but there's a lot of shoving and barging going on behind him. Hayle Ibrahimov is the first to move, bursting ahead of Farah with 500m left but the Briton responds and lengthens his stride at the bell.

It was at the European Championships in Barcelona four years ago that Mo Farah's path to long-distance glory began. "This is where it started and you can't forget where you started," said Farah, who is aiming to match his 5,000m and 10,000m golden feats of 2010.

Delighted relay team-mate Michael Bingham adds: "When Matthew first came into the team we were trying to make sure the environment was good for him. But what he did was chilled the whole environment out and that allowed us to keep the same camaraderie between the team - and win gold."

"The British team had such a great spirit throughout. The young and the old have worked so well together.
"The one thing I'm embarrassed about, though, is my face-pulling as I crossed the line. It wasn't good. I need to work on that!"
Women's shot final
Germany have not enjoyed the best week in the track or the field, but Christina Schwanitz could claim their third gold medal of the championships if the women's shot put final goes as the bookies' predict.

What a finish! Floria Guei sprints down the home straight as if she had propellers tied to her spikes. The French were fourth at the final bend, Guei had acres of ground to make up but she galloped down the outside and expertly dipped to secure gold for France (3:24.27).

Women's 4x400m relay final
There's no time to revel in Chris O'Hare's achievement because the women's 4x400m is about to start. European 400m hurdles champion Eilidh Child leads a quartet comprising of Kelly Massey, Shana Cox and Margaret Adeoye.

Men's 1500m final
The first track event of the day is the men's 1500m and Britain might win their first medal in the event since 1986 but, then again, they might not. The finalists are on the start line, being introduced to the crowd.
Norway's Henrik Ingebrigtsen and British youngsters Chris O'Hare and Charlie Grice were the three fastest qualifiers but there are others to look out for, too.
Germany's Homiyu Tesfaye is in the form of his life, while the steeplechase stripper Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad returns to the track and will undoubtedly want to make amends after he was, ahem, stripped of his gold for removing his vest in the 3,000m steeplechase.

Chief sports writer in Zurich
"At last the sort of weather one associates with athletics at the Letzigrund - warm sunshine, little breeze, a dream meteorological mix for fast times and big jumps. GB performance director Neil Black told me at the start of the week that his team would perform better than two years ago (four golds) but not as well as Barcelona 2010 (six).
"Instead, with seven golds already stashed back at the team hotel and a very real chance of at least four more this afternoon, the all-time best of nine (1990, 1998) could easily be overhauled. Quite some afternoon in prospect."
