Turner takes his chance to join growing list of British winners

Another night in the Montjuic Olympic Stadium; another British gold at the European Championships.

Following in the footsteps of Mo Farah and Phillips Idowu, Andy Turner snatched the hand of opportunity when it was thrust in his di rection in the midst of the men's 110m hurdles final here last night. Actually, it was more like he ripped the thing off to claim the third gold of the championships for the Great Britain team.

There is the promise of much more of the precious stuff to come, possibly even a run of four tonight, with Jessica Ennis 110 points clear in the heptathlon; the Welshmen Dai Greene and Rhys Williams lining up as the two fastest qualifiers for the 400m hurdles final; Michael Rimmer going into the 800m final looking like the man to beat; and Farah seeking a 5,000m gold to match the one he won from the 10,000m on the opening night.
