Charlie Dobson and Molly Caudery boosted Great Britain's medal tally on the fourth day of the European Athletics Championships in Rome. Dobson clocked a personal best of 44.38 seconds to claim silver in the men's 400 metres behind Belgium's Alexander Doom, while Caudery won bronze in the women's pole vault. Dobson was just pipped over a dramatic final 100 metres and said after: 'I gave it everything down the back straight.
'If I told myself a year ago I would be bronze medallist at the European Championships I would have been over the moon, and I have expectations of myself which are high. 'A bronze is still a great achievement, and I learned a lot tonight, but I would have liked to come away with a slightly higher height.' Rhasidat Adeleke smashed the Irish record as she took silver in the women's 400 metres behind Natalia Kaczmarek of Poland.
