Great Britain lost out on a final night fight for the lead of the European Athletics Championships medal table at Munich 2022.
Despite winning the 4x100m relay in the men’s race, the GB women’s team failed to finish while knowing victory would have nudged eventual winners Germany off the top of the standings.
Great Britain topped the medal table ahead of Poland and Germany in 2018, finishing with a total of 18 prizes including seven golds.
They will hope to repeat that feat in Bavaria as a busy summer of action continues following the World Athletics Championships and the subsequent Commonwealth Games.
GB finished just outside the top 10 in Oregon, while they were beaten to top spot in Birmingham by old rivals Australia.
