British Athletics Championships

The championships served as the main qualification event for the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team at the 2016 Summer Olympics for all events except combined events, marathons, race walks and the 10,000 metres.[2] In addition, shorter track walking events were held during the British Championships that did not involve qualification for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

A number of qualification trials were held at other meetings to earn a place for the 2016 Summer Olympics, in addition to a small number of preselected athletes:

Key:
≠Qualified for 2016 Summer Olympics at trials
≠Selected other than from trials.

  • 10000 metres: Highgate Night of 10,000 m PBs:[4] The top two British finishers in each race qualified if they have the qualification time. Jess Andrews made the qualification time to win the event, while Beth Potter, the second Briton, already had the time and also qualified automatically. In the men's race, neither of the top two British finishers made the qualification time. Following the event, however, Ross Millington made the time and secured qualification. World and Olympic champion Mo Farah has been pre-selected for the event at Rio.
