This year's UK Athletics Championships, which take place this weekend in Birmingham, is missing some of the tension that so often accompanies the national championships.
While the UK Championships often doubles as the trials for that summer’s major championship, the 2026 edition is not, with Team Scotland's squad for this summer’s Commonwealth Games already selected, although not publicly announced yet. And so, with GB selection for this summer’s European Championships not being decided upon entirely by results over the next two days, there’s slightly less on the line this weekend than is often the case.
