England Athletics Senior and Para Open Championships Report – Day 2

Day two was all about applying the finishing touches whether that was for the domestic season as a whole or for anyone advancing from the qualifying rounds of day one. And as ever, at an event of this stature, it was all very much about the head-to-head competition rather than chasing times or performances. And that in turn created a day of exciting competition which included a touch of drama here and there, all the way to the final act – the men’s shot.

England Athletics Senior and Para Open Championships Report - Day 1

The next generation of athletes keen to continue their journey to the top were in Chelmsford to compete for the national titles on offer and put the finishing touches to their seasons. This is an event all about head-to-head competition and getting it right on the day and it was great to see just that all day long. From the very first event early in the morning - the hammer - to the 100m in the afternoon it would take a performance of the highest order to secure gold.
