"I'm not sure abut this man (Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad). You're a great athlete who can win gold medals, but why do you always have to court controversy?

"It's the other athletes who end up thinking you are being disrespectful. If you're going to celebrate, celebrate afterwards and do it the right way."

The Frenchman was comfortably ahead down the home straight, but slowed down and was gesticulating and laughing as he crossed the line. The crowd responded with a chorus of boos. Silver goes to 2012 champion Henrik Ingebrigtsen (3:46.10).

These European Championships have been full of highs and lows for Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad. After being denied steeplechase gold on Thursday, the Frenchman comfortably wins the 1500m in 3:45.60 to become European champion.

A fantastic surge down the home straight by Chris O'Hare, although he's slapping his thigh in frustration, perhaps wondering 'what if' had the race been a touch quicker. A first medal for Britain in the event for Britain since 1986 thanks to O'Hare's 3:46.18 run.

Spain's David Bustos leads the men into the third lap and it's slow and steady so far. Oof - but Britain's Chris O'Hare dashes out to the front... His team-mate Charlie Grice falls! Final bell rings...

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.

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.

"Golden Child," says the Scotland on Sunday , externalon its front page after she became the first female 400m hurdles champion since Sally Gunnell in 1994. It was Britain's seventh gold of the championships. Will there be more to follow today? Probably.

"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."

If you'd prefer to watch the action rather than read about it there are many ways to do so. Firstly, I'm not offended. Secondly, Gabby Logan and Paula Radcliffe are in the BBC Sport studio and you can listen to their insightful chat by clicking the 'live coverage' tab at the top of this page, or tune into BBC Two.

France leapfrogged Britain in the medal table on Saturday, but the fat lady has not sung yet. Britain's athletes could still top the medal table for the first time in the event's 76-year history.

And with the relays, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford in action, the team could surpass their best-ever haul of nine golds, achieved at the 1998 and 1990 European Championships. La Decima?
