Meet Amy Hunt, the Queen of the European Championships: Athlete, Influencer, and Stunning Nails

The European Championships in Birmingham already have their queen: Amy Hunt. The British athlete won both the 100-meter and 200-meter races, confirming that she is the absolute best. A superb athlete, but that’s not all.

A graduate of the University of Cambridge, she trains in Padua with Marco Airale. Her Instagram profile—filled with striking shots from advertising campaigns, toasts with bottles of wine prominently displayed, and images of intense training sessions—is a blend of influencer and athlete. Many people are starting to follow her.

The star, who grew up in Newark, Nottinghamshire, plays Wordle and Spelling Bee in her free time and stays in regular contact with friends and family. She remains private about her love life, stating in an interview last year that she prioritizes “medals over men.”

Then there are her nails—meticulously manicured and widely admired. Lbrightly colored acrylic nails that, in fact, were reminiscent of those of the legendary American sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, known as Flo-Jo, whose extremely long nails made her a global icon after the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
