Great Britain's Matt Hudson-Smith progressed to the final of the men's 400m at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham after finishing second in his semi-final. The result keeps him in contention for a medal on home soil, though commentary on the race suggested his performance was not quite where he wanted it to be, as he faded in the closing stages.

Hudson-Smith reached the final despite the late fade, with the semi-final serving as a warm-up for the main event still to come. Further details on his finishing time and the rest of the semi-final field were not provided in the report.
