Novuna British Indoor Athletics Championships Day 2 (15 February 2026)


Day 2:

Day 2 Novuna Great Britain Indoor Athletics Championships proposed a plan 17 final four and a half hours. Just as the first day began with the disappointing news that Georgia Hunter Bell was out of the game due to injury. Day 2 started with the news that Josh Kerr, who traveled from the US to compete in the 3k also withdrew with a back strain. GB are strong in the men’s middle distance, but with Josh Kerr injured and Jake Wightman and Neil Gourley out on the inside, the races weren’t what they could have been. In yesterday’s report, I joked about Keeley setting the national record in the prelims (1:56.33). All was revealed today when Keeley failed to make the final. He is conserving his energy for Friday’s world record attempt in Lieven.

It The 200n indoor championship is not a championship distance fearing that runners in the outer lanes have a clear lead over those running on closed curves. That said, the races were exciting, with prelims, semi-finals and finals on the same day. Jeremiah Azu Yesterday the British 60m champion, not to mention the World and European 60m champion, won in 20.77 minutes, commenting: “It’s time for me to become a proper sprinter and tackle the 60m, 100m and 200m. The 200m indoor area is mainly for training. There is more time when you win competitions when you win competitions. 60m yesterday rather than 200m, which is a bit crazy but exciting, winning national honors and the best in the UK, going to Poland next month, for indoor. I feel like I’m in a good place, yesterday was good, three good rounds. Today’s three rounds were to be measured. I want to start doubling up outside, so this weekend was a test to see if I can handle the load.”

Azu also made it to the 200 in the championships, contending for 9 athletes in a one-of-a-kind schedule, running three races in the outside lanes, with the winner timed to be decided over three races.

When? Renee Regis won 200 for women With a championship record of 22.95, he had two surprises – his time and to the person giving the medals. “I didn’t expect to run so fast in the semi-finals. My coaches told me to hit it and be done, so that’s exactly what I did. It gave me confidence going into the final, but you can’t be too confident about that. You have to stay focused because I wanted to win the gold medal. It’s a mixture of my parents’ lessons and my parents’ lessons. All that being said, they are all very helpful to me, it was quite funny to see my father handing me the medal, but it was a really nice moment.
