Racing in lane four, he surged out of the blocks, led from the start and, just as he did on Tuesday night, devastated the rest of the field.
It ensured a sprint double for Smyth, having already tasted success in the 200m competition and he remains undefeated at international level since 2005.
This is his 18th major championship gold and sixth European triumph.
