Intro:
Late highlights from day nine of European Games in Baku
Script:
It proved a successful day for Great Britain at the European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan on Saturday.
Amber Hill claimed Great Britain's first shooting gold at the European Games.
The 17-year-old Hill beat Italy's Diana Bacosi in the women's skeet after a lengthy and tense battle that went to a 30 clay shoot-off.
Bacosi missed one of her final pair but Hill scored with both hers for a win that earns Team GB a third shooting place for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
However, it wasn't the only gold medal of the day, James Heatly triumphed in the men's 3m springboard finishing 18 points clear of Italy's Ruslan Cristofori.
Heatly made it a hat-trick of medals in the competition after winning silver in the 3m synchronised springboard and bronze in the 1m springboard.
Finally, in the women's water polo final, Russia took on Spain and the game went down to the wire.
Spain led 10-8 with less than three minutes to go in the final.
However, Russia equalised with 38 seconds to go, before going on to win the shootout 7-6 after Spain's Paula Crespi Barriga saw her effort saved by Evgeniia Golovina.
Even the Russian coach could not escape a dive into the swimming pool to celebrate the gold medal.
Greece meanwhile secured the final spot on the podium.
