Only the brave will predict the destination of the four gold medals and national titles on offer in Manchester, but there were more than enough amazing performances to suggest it will take something very special indeed to secure that top slot. Day one is about laying down the foundations in a Combined Events Championships and there were some pretty solid bases constructed. Day two will definitely be something to savour. Here’s why and here’s how day one unfolded:

Turning a competition into an event

A Competition and an Event are different. Each can exist without the other. However, if merged correctly, without compromising the integrity of the competition, sports events can bring both together and be used to inspire the next generation of athletes, volunteers and spectators. We feel the best way to do this is by using our competitions as a hub in the local community, putting on family friendly activities to encourage people into the stadium so they get to see and be inspired by the athletes competing. Athletics, even without the big-name stars is impressive for children to watch, I saw this first-hand last weekend.
