Olympic stars Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Georgia Hunter Bell are among those competing for British titles at the UK Athletics Indoor Championships in Birmingham this weekend.
The two-day event, live on the BBC, will double as the British trials for the European Athletics Indoor Championships, which take place in Apeldoorn, in the Netherlands, from 6-9 March.
Johnson-Thompson, who ended her wait for an Olympic medal with heptathlon silver at Paris 2024, is entered in the 60m hurdles and shot put events at Utilita Arena.
Olympic bronze medallist Hunter Bell will seek to defend her British indoor 1500m title, while world indoor champion Molly Caudery competes in the women’s pole vault.
Laura Muir will aim for her 10th British title as she races in the women’s 3,000m, while an exciting women’s 400m features Olympic relay medallists Amber Anning, Victoria Ohuruogu, Lina Nielsen and Hannah Kelly.
The top two finishers in each final will secure a place on the team for the European Indoor Championships, provided they have achieved the qualification standard or a world ranking place in their event.
Keely Hodgkinson is one high-profile name missing after the Olympic 800m champion suffered a hamstring tear earlier in February.
Former world 1500m champion Jake Wightman, who missed Paris 2024 with injury, was a late withdrawal.
The European Indoor Championships are followed by the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, from 21-23 March.
