Welsh sprinter Jeremiah Azu says it was "amazing" to be part of a Great Britain one-two in the European Championships 100m in Birmingham.Englishman Romell Glave took gold in Tuesday's final at Alexander Stadium as he clocked 10.09, with Azu hitting the line in 10.16.Success in the men's 100m came 24 hours after Great Britian's Amy Hunt won the women's event."Silver feels great," Azu told BBC One Breakfast. "Going into a championship, you always want to leave with a gold, but the gold going to a team-mate makes it better."We were able to do it together, but it's been an up-and-down year so to finish it off with a medal has been great."GB's Glave and Azu claim European 100m one-twoGB's Hunt comes of age with European 100m goldThe team behind Hodgkinson's golden rise and the hunt for a world recordAzu, 25, said the Birmingham crowd "made it easy for us to perform"."We get to race all over the world, but to have these special moments, these championships, they come quite rarely in your career so to have that opportunity was amazing, and I'm glad we could grasp it," he added. "We did what we said we would do: take the gold and the silver in the 100m."After becoming world and European champion over 60m indoors in 2025, Azu finished fourth at this year's World Indoor Championships and fifth at the Commonwealth Games, with a season's best of 10.00 in Glasgow two weeks ago not proving enough for a medal.Second in Birmingham was reason for Azu to celebrate and he sent a message to a youth group he is involved with in home city Cardiff saying Wednesday's gathering was "cancelled".Azu says helping youngsters is "a big passion", adding: "When I was that age, I didn't feel like I had anyone I could go to, so I want to just be that that sounding board for them because as much as I've been through, I'm not too far off their age."So it's like the experiences that they'll be going through, I understand."Just to be that person for them... hopefully they can look into what I'm doing and take inspiration from it, not just to pursue sports, but to give anything they want in life a real go, and you'd never know where it can take you."Azu says his religious faith is also a significant factor in his life - including when he is waiting for the starting gun to fire."We put in hours and hours of training, so you have to stand on the start line, believing you're capable of it," he said."And especially for some of us, our faith is another thing that grounds us. We can stand there and know that it's not bigger than us."We've been given this talent so we can express ourselves confidently because we've got the combination of the hard work and the gift from God, so we can stand on that start line and not have any doubt."Criticism of empty seats and ticket prices at EuropeansEuropean Championships: Day three schedule & BBC coverageEuropean Athletics Championships medal table

All 12 Scottish Premiership clubs will enter a team into a legends version of cult indoor tournament the Tennent's Soccer Sixes later this year.The revived event, backed by the SPFL, will take place at Braehead Arena on the weekend of 3 and 4 October and be broadcast on Premier Sports.Group stages will be played on Saturday, with the winner and runner-up from three regionalised groups of four teams progressing to the knockout stage along with the two best third-placed teams.Every game will have a winner, with a bonus point for a penalty shootout win in the event of a draw after normal time. The sin bin will also be in operation.The Tennent's Soccer Sixes was a staple of the Scottish football scene for nine years from 1984, with clubs fielding many of their leading players.Partick Thistle, who are in the Scottish Championship and therefore will not play in this year's revived event, were the winners of last tournament in 1993.SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "The Tennent's Sixes has a special place in the hearts and minds of a generation of football fans and we are absolutely thrilled to get the band back together again with the official endorsement of the SPFL."

Oxford United start their season on Saturday at home against MK Dons [Shutterstock]At the start of the season we think we know what the narrative will be; we're not always right, but we think we know.For the last two seasons in the Championship it was obvious. Can Oxford stay up? For more than a decade before that, it was "Can Oxford go up?"This season? Insert your own IDK (I don't know) emoji here.Oxford's particular set of circumstances is unique in the modern professional era; they go into the season with a squad that was entirely available to them last season. The change of manager, with Aaron Ramsey coming in, showed ambition and looked promising in pre-season. Days after his arrival, though, United failed to satisfy new League One financial rules, and they were hit with a restriction on registering any new players. Faced with the transfer embargo, the club has doubled down on the policy of retention as a way of being competitive in the division. Can Ramsey maintain harmony when at least some of the players he will wish to deploy might have expected their futures to lie elsewhere? Oxford have a talented group, but after the cup defeat at Leyton Orient at the weekend, those who have been warning about a lack of depth were probably saying, "I told you so."So, it's hard to suggest Oxford are major "bounce back at the first attempt" candidates when the club has been unable or unwilling to meet the new SCMP requirements, but now there's a further wrinkle with the PFA challenge to these rules.The football world has been flailing around trying to apply the template for this scenario; United have spoilt those attempts. Can you define anyone as a "crisis club" when the bills are being paid and far from there being a fire sale of top talent, it is quite the opposite?In my time covering the club, there have been at least as many predicaments as there've been promotions.What never seems to change in me is writing in a piece like this about the importance of a new stadium to the club. Owners, managers and players come and go, but for Oxford United to thrive for the supporters who will never move on, the biggest win of the coming year would be getting spades in the ground at The Triangle.Latest Oxford United news, analysis and fan viewsListen to Oxford United content on BBC Sounds
