What time did Romell Glave run to win the men’s 100 metres at the 2026 European Athletics Championships?

The story behind the answer

Romell Glave won the men’s 100 metres at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in 10.09 seconds.

The British sprinter finished ahead of compatriot Jeremiah Azu, who ran 10.16 seconds, while Germany’s Owen Ansah took bronze in 10.19 seconds. The final was one of the sprint highlights of the Birmingham championships.

Glave’s victory was especially notable because Great Britain and Northern Ireland supplied both the champion and the runner-up. The result is separate from the men’s 200 metres, which was won by Germany’s Owen Ansah, and from the men’s 4 × 100 metres relay, where Britain also took gold.

The 100 metres is the shortest individual outdoor sprint on the championships programme. Times are recorded to hundredths of a second, making the difference between places extremely small at elite level.
