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:
The UK Athletics Indoor Championships takes place 22-23 February in an action-packed weekend at the Utilita Arena, Birmingham, UK.
The event will be available to watch via BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website and the app on both Saturday, 22 February, from 11:20am to 6:40pm, and Sunday, 23 February from 11:25am to 4pm. And a live stream will be available on mobile devices and desktop computers.

Lawrence shares sixth as second round ends at rainy US Open
South African Thriston Lawrence sank a four-foot par putt to finish his second round at the US Open in a share of sixth at rainy Oakmont (Andrew Redington) Thriston Lawrence sank a four-foot par putt Saturday morning to complete his storm-halted second round of the US Open in a share of sixth place at rainy Oakmont. The 28-year-old South African, halted just shy of the clubhouse by heavy rain Friday night, finished on the ninth hole to complete a four-over par 74 round and stand on one-over 141 through 36 holes. Advertisement That left him level with Frenchman Victor Perez, four strokes adrift of US leader Sam Burns, who finished a round of 65 on Friday to stand on three-under 137. "Just about when I was going to take my putt, the siren sounded," Lawrence said Friday. "A bit frustrating in that sense, but those are the rules... It's an important putt. Each shot means a lot in a championship like this." American J.J. Spaun, on 138, and Norway's Viktor Hovland on 139 were the only other players below par on the formidable layout, which figures to be far more receptive in round three after an overnight drenching with rain expected to continue all day Saturday. The only other morning drama came as American Philip Barbaree sank a five-foot par putt on the ninth to shoot 71 and become the last player to make the cut, doing so on the number at seven-over 147. Advertisement That earned him the chance to play alone in the first spot off the first tee at 9:12 a.m. (1312 GMT) to start the third round. Among the leaders, Burns and Spaun were set for a 3:35 p.m. tee time, 11 minutes after Hovland and Australia's Adam Scott begin in the penultimate pairing. World number two Rory McIlroy, nine strokes off the lead at 146, tees off at 10:34 a.m. with third-ranked American Xander Schauffele, the reigning British Open champion. Northern Ireland's McIlroy completed a career Grand Slam by winning the Masters in April for his fifth major title. World number one Scottie Scheffler, seeking back-to-back major titles after taking last month's PGA Championship, starts at 1:02 p.m. with fellow American Cameron Young. They were seven off the lead on 144. Advertisement In all, 67 golfers made the cut to play the final 36 holes. Those missing the cut included defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, Sweden's Ludvig Aberg, past winners Wyndham Clark and Lucas Glover, six-time major winner Phil Mickelson, Gary Woodland and Dustin Johnson, England's Justin Rose and Ireland's Shane Lowry. Spectators were kept off the course until after the second round was complete, with the US Golf Association announcing that access to some spectator viewing areas will be limited due to heavy rain. js/pb

A new league gave track stars a financial cushion, and more uncertainty
Before Kenny Bednarek joined Grand Slam Track, he had become one of the most accomplished sprinters of his era. He won silver medals in the 200 meters at the past two Olympics. He reached the 100-meter final in Paris. Just seven men ever have run halfway around a track faster. For all his achievements, it took the league started this year by Olympic legend Michael Johnson for Bednarek to reach a new level of financial stability. Bednarek dominated the series and earned $400,000 in prize money, already roughly double what he would make in a typical year. Even before this year's national and world championships, Bednarek set aside money for investments he could not have made in past years.

Stockholm Diamond League schedule and start times including Mondo Duplantis
The athletics party isn't stopping yet and Stockholm is the next stop on the Diamond League circuit this week. This time, the world's best will be travelling to Sweden for the seventh meet of the 2025 calendar. With Paris 800m Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson hit by another injury setback, her hopes of making her first outdoor appearance of the season this weekend have vanished. Now, the field is wide open and anyone's for the taking. Hodgkinson's British compatriots, Jemma Reekie and Georgia Hunter Bell, will be on the start line on Sunday night and hoping to make their mark in their first 800m appearances of the season. Reekie finished fourth in the 1500m in Doha meet last month. The Scot will be looking for a repeat here after storming home to an 800m victory at the 2024 Stockholm meet. Hunter Bell makes her first appearance at the Diamond League this year, and following her dazzling 1500m bronze medal in Paris last year, the 31-year-old is looking stronger than ever to become a serious contender for the win this weekend. Dutch star Femke Bol is back in action this weekend in the 400m hurdles, looking to better the season's best she set in Rabat last month. The 25-year-old has dominated the event since her breakthrough in 2020, winning 25 individual wins and four consecutive Diamond League titles. Swedish fans will be hooked as their golden boy, Mondo Duplantis, attempts to produce another masterclass in the pole vault. After his performance in Oslo, it will be more of a question of how high his vaulting prowess can propel him, rather than where the 25-year old will place. Paris Olympic high jump champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh comes into the Stockholm event as one of only two women to have jumped over two metres this season. The other being Australia's Nicola Olyslagers, who is sure to be hot on her heels, finishing just behind the Ukrainian for the silver medal in Paris. Great Britain's Amber Anning lines up in the 400m yet again after a third place run and season's best in Oslo last night. She is up against Last night's winner, Isabella Whittaker from the USA, and Norway's Henriette Jaeger, who took skin off her elbow to thrust herself over the finish line for second place in a personal best time in front of her home crowd last night. After a spectacular new world best in the men's 300m hurdles last night, Norway's Karsten Warholm will return to his familiar format of the 400m hurdles. He will be taking on some of the same faces he left in the dust on Thursday evening, including rivals Rai Benjamin and Alison dos Santos. The Stockholm Diamond League meeting will be held on Sunday 12 June 2025 at the historic Olympic Stadium. UK coverage of the Stockholm Diamond League will be available to watch on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, with the broadcast and live stream beginning at 5pm. (All times BST) 5:14 pm - high jump women 5:17pm - pole vault men 6:04pm - 400m hurdles women 6:13pm - 200m men 6:20pm - 3000m women 6:23pm - long jump women 6:39pm - 100m hurdles women 6:48pm - 800m men 6:55pm - discus men 7:00pm - 400m women 7:09pm - 5000m men 7:31 - 800m women 7:42 - 100m women 7:52 - 400m hurdles men
