UK Athletics Indoor Championships: Schedule, times and how to watch on TV
The UK Athletics Indoor Championships is here at a pivotal stage of the winter season.
Athletes will be determined to qualify for both the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands and then World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China.
It is a huge year of athletics as we build up to the outdoor season and the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, with the inaugural Grand Slam Track season likely to disrupt a sport in need of innovation.
The likes of Laura Muir, Georgia Hunter Bell, Neil Gourley and more will battle it out over two entertaining days of athletics in Birmingham a week after the Keely Klassic, though Keely Hodgkinson is out and recovering from a hamstring injury and Josh Kerr is resting up after a bout of sickness before the first Grand Slam Track meeting in Kingston Jamaica in April.
Here's everything you need to know about the championships:

Watch: Anisimova v Maria in Queen's Club women final
Update: Date: 18:16 BST Title: Qualifier Maria stuns Keys to reach Queen's final Content: Jess AndersonBBC Sport at Queen's This video can not be played Qualifier Maria makes history in Queen's win over Keys German qualifier Tatjana Maria says it is a "dream come true" to reach the Queen's final after she stunned Australian Open champion Madison Keys in straight sets. The 37-year-old became the oldest woman to reach a WTA 500 final with a 6-3 7-6 (7-3) victory over the American second seed. The mother-of-two arrived at Queen's on a nine-match losing streak but has beaten three top-20 players on her way to the final. She raised her arms in the air after securing victory and rushed over to celebrate with her husband and eldest daughter Charlotte, while youngest daughter Cecilia slept on in her pram. Click here to read the full story. Update: Date: 18:16 BST Title: Post Content: You might have noticed something missing from the courts at Queen's Club this year - where have the line judges gone? A familiar sight around the edges of the courts for decades, the men and women who shout "out" and "fault" have been replaced by electronic line calling. Electronic line calling uses cameras, computers and sensors to track a ball and is used by tennis umpires to judge whether a ball is in or out. This season the men's tour - the ATP - has adopted the technology across all of its events, while the WTA - the women's tour - has also been using it at many of its events. A combined men's and women's event, such as Queen's, offers an easy opportunity for the technology to be used across the two tournaments. Click here to read more. Update: Date: 18:15 BST Title: The Queen's champion who reigned for half a century Content: When Olga Morozova lifted the biggest trophy of her career, she might not have thought she would be the reigning champion for more than 50 years. But next week she will finally lose her crown when the Queen's Club Championships stages a women's event for the first time since 1973. The winner will get a new trophy, which has the previous champions engraved on it, as the original one could not be located. And the tennis world itself is also a different one to Morozova's days of wooden racquets and taking public transport to events. As Queen's prepares to welcome today's players to its grass courts on Monday, Morozova reflects on a time when rain meant matches were moved indoors on to a tricky wooden court, the event was sponsored by a tobacco company and her prize money for the title was £1,000. Click here to read the full story. Update: Date: 18:14 BST Title: Why female tennis players are returning to Queen's after half a century Content: There are several reasons why female players will return to Queen's for the first time in 52 years, including an ongoing commitment to the growth of women's tennis, and the success of an event at Eastbourne. The Lawn Tennis Association - the sport's governing body in Britain - hopes the tournament will raise the profile of the women's game and increase the visibility of the sport at the beginning of the grass-court season. "This year fans will be able to enjoy both men's and women's tennis on the biggest stages that we can offer," said LTA chief executive Scott Lloyd. "We want to develop the tournaments so that the women's events deliver a path to profitability and greater visibility for the sport." Queen's will host the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) 500 event that was previously at Eastbourne, which will now stage a 250 event in the build-up to Wimbledon, with Emma Raducanu on the entry list.

The key change helping Georgia Hunter Bell step out of Keely Hodgkinson's shadow
Olympic 1500m bronze medalist Georgia Hunter Bell is gearing up for her first Diamond League appearance of the 2025 season in Stockholm on Sunday night. Outside of the distance where she dazzled the Parisian crowds and broke Laura Muir 's British record in the process, Hunter Bell will instead line up for an 800m. The 31-year-old will attack the shorter distance, which has become synonymous with her training partner, and Olympic champion, Keely Hodgkinson. Hunter Bell is joined by compatriot Jemma Reekie to take on 800m world champion and the No 1-ranked athlete Mary Moraa. Hunter Bell's talent in the 1,500m is already well known, but she has been making her mark across the shorter distance over the past year, too. With a PB under her belt from last summer and Hodgkinson sidelined with another injury setback, this could be the season for Hunter Bell to rewrite expectations and step out of Hodgkinson's shadow. Her unconventional journey is one of resilience. Hunter Bell was a high-achieving runner at youth level, but a stagnant period due to injury saw the Briton's passion for the sport dwindle. She took a five-year hiatus after college, pursuing a corporate career in cybersecurity, only to rekindle her love for running during the Covid pandemic. Now a full-time professional track star, she has built a schedule consisting of cross-training, altitude camps and full-time track focus, benefiting from the same infrastructure that has helped Hodgkinson conquer the sport. Team GB's golden girl has already set the bar high, but Hunter Bell seems to thrive on a challenge. The Paris-born runner set an 800m PB of 1:56.28 at the London Diamond League last year, finishing behind just Hodgkinson and Reekie for an all-British podium. This season will be the optimal chance for Hunter Bell to leverage the same mindset that propelled Hodgkinson from a silver medal in Tokyo to the golden crown four years later. Full-time training has allowed her to finally commit to lifting her power on the track. Continuity and consistency over this season will be vital for her to build on last year's explosive breakthrough. After opening up on dealing with body shaming and online abuse following her Olympic fairytale, Hunter Bell has grown mentally stronger and ready to take the next step as a serial medal winner or gold medalist in a global championship. 'I have had to get quite a thick skin quite quickly, ever since last summer,' she said. 'There is a really dark side of social media where people write things about you, your body, how you look, what they think of you, your performance.' Developing a champion's mindset and coming off social media is key as she plans to distance herself from the 'underdog' title. She told PA news agency: 'Everyone else has their expectations and that's great, but I'm more, I don't want to just have one great year and fall off.' She finished third overall on her Grand Slam Track debut two weeks ago and is now considered a top contender for major events. She has also teased a potential event double at the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this September. So a strong performance this summer, in both events, could place her firmly in contention to upgrade her Olympic medal at LA2028 and perhaps even challenge Hodgkinson in her preferred event. But to get there, she needs clean execution, tactical maturity, and the mental frame of a winner. If she can put all three together in Stockholm with a maiden Diamond League victory over for grabs, then the M11 Track Club, led by Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows, could have another superstar on their hands.
