The UK Athletics Indoor Championships 2026 continue with Day 2 in Birmingham, where domestic glory and qualification for the World Athletics Indoor Championships in March are on the line. With no Olympic Games or outdoor World Athletics Championship this year, the indoor season carries heightened significance, setting the stage for the upcoming event in Poland next month.
Day 1 Recap and Key Absences
On Saturday, Dina Asher-Smith triumphed over Amy Hunt, the silver medalist from Tokyo last summer, in an exhilarating women's 60m final. Jeremiah Azu secured victory in the men's 60m final. Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson set a blazing national record in the 800m before withdrawing to prepare for the Lievin meeting next week, where she aims for a world record attempt. Notably, multiple Olympic medallist Josh Kerr and world silver medallist Georgia Hunter Bell have been granted medical exemptions and will not compete, despite initial plans to participate at World Indoors.
