Mills & Glave earn GB's first medals as Jacobs wins 100m

Great Britain's George Mills won European 5,000m silver and Romell Glave clinched bronze in the 100m, as Olympic champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs successfully defended his sprint title on a golden night for hosts Italy in Rome.

Mills, 25, clocked 13 minutes 21.38 seconds to finish runner-up to Norwegian star Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who proved too strong in the closing stages to win in 13:07.48.

Glave ran 10.06 seconds to make the men's 100m podium as the British team won its first two medals on day two of the championships.

Home favourite Jacobs' 100m triumph in 10.02secs delivered table-topping Italy's third gold medal of the night - and fifth in the opening two days as a stunning start for the hosts continued.
