European Championships Munich 2022: Dina Asher-Smith pulls up with cramp after Lamont Marcell Jacobs won men's 100m

Great Britain's Daryll Neita won bronze as Dina Asher-Smith pulled up with cramp in the European women's 100m, after Olympic champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs won the men's race in Munich.

Italy's Jacobs ran 9.95 seconds to beat British defending champion Zharnel Hughes (9.99) to the men's title.

Team-mate Jeremiah Azu ran a personal best 10.13 to take bronze.

Neita clocked 11.00 as Germany's Gina Luckenkemper (10.99) delivered a hugely popular home victory ahead of Switzerland's Mujinga Kambundji in a photo finish.

Earlier, Briton Jacob Fincham-Dukes clinched his first major championship medal as he won silver in the men's long jump at the Olympiastadion.

The 25-year-old produced a season-best leap of 8.06m - his best ever outdoor performance - as Greece's Olympic champion and world silver medallist Miltiadis Tentoglou jumped 8.52m to defend his European title.

In two thrilling 100m races, Israel Olatunde - the first Irish athlete to reach the European 100m final - set a national record of 10.17 to place sixth ahead of Britain's Reece Prescod, who finished fourth in 2018.

In the women's event, Imani Lansiquot was fifth in 11.21, with Asher-Smith eventually jogging across the line.

Asher-Smith confirms cramp to blame as Neita medals

Asher-Smith entered the championship bidding to defend the three titles she won in 2018 in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.

The 26-year-old was forced to withdraw from the Commonwealth Games after pulling up with a hamstring strain while competing for Great Britain in the women's 4x100m relay final at the World Championships in July.

By then, she had equalled her British record to take an agonising fourth in the 100m in Eugene - missing out on a medal by just 0.02 seconds - before winning 200m bronze.

That success, after which she revealed she had been struggling away from the track following the death of her grandmother, marked her return to a major championship podium after her Olympics campaign was wrecked by a hamstring injury.

There was to be no repeat in Munich - though it appears the problem she suffered was not a serious one.

"I got cramp in my calves and I can't be running on two cramping calves," Asher-Smith told BBC Sport.

"I'll go back and have a chat about my recovery and how I'm hydrating. I feel good which is why I'm frustrated.

"I wasn't about to go and run a whole race on two cramping calves and possibly tear them. Frustrated, it's just very annoying."

Team-mate Neita meanwhile, lost out in a tight finish and also said she had been suffering with cramp.

"I was cramping up a lot. I haven't cramped all year. I was saying a prayer on the start line that I got through in one piece," Neita said.

"I honestly wasn't going to race but who is going to believe me if I said I was cramping up before. I got a medal somehow."
