Keely Hodgkinson pulled out of the 400m final at the UK Athletics Championships moments before Sunday's race.

The Olympic 800m champion has been competing over the shorter distance in a bid to improve her first-lap speed and challenge for the 800m world record this summer.

After qualifying from Saturday's heats, she warmed up for the final in Birmingham but stepped off the track right before the finalists were put under starters' orders.

Hodgkinson looked emotional as she stood at the side of the track before making her way back inside the Alexander Stadium.

The 24-year-old endured an injury-disrupted 2025 and her shock withdrawal on Sunday comes four weeks before the London Diamond League meeting, which she had earmarked for a tilt at the 800m world record.

Amy Hunt retained her British 100m title by producing the second fastest time of her career and beating the likes of Dina Asher-Smith and Mabel Akande.

Hunt produced the second fastest time of her career to win in 11.01 seconds on day one of the UK Athletics Championships in Birmingham.

Reigning European champion Dina Asher-Smith made the better start in the final but Hunt, 24, powered through to clinch victory at the Alexander Stadium.

Asher-Smith was second with a season's best of 11.13 while Mabel Akande was third with a personal best of 11.18.

The European Championships will be held at the same venue from 10-16 August and Hunt told the crowd: "This was a nice dry run for the Europeans so if you can come out and be my lucky charm again, we can get another gold."

Romell Glave said that he was running with "freedom" after becoming the men's 100m champion for the first time on Saturday.

Glave made a fine start to the men's final and although Zharnel Hughes stormed back, the two-time national champion had left himself too much to do.

After running a wind-assisted 9.88 in Italy last month, Glave legally broke the 10-second barrier for the first time, winning in 9.98.

Hughes was second with a season's best of 10.01, with Louie Hinchliffe third (10.03) and Jeremiah Azu fourth with the same time.

Glave, 26, said: "I just came here running with freedom, and a person that's running with freedom is dangerous. I put myself in that field and executed my best race."

Joel Clarke-Khan shed tears of joy after equalling his personal best to win the men's high jump on the first day of the UK Athletics Championships.

After winning three outdoor British titles between 2020 and 2023, Clarke-Hunt endured an injury-plagued 18 months with toe problems.

But after claiming the national indoor title in February, the 26-year-old continued an impressive year by jumping 2.27 metres in Birmingham.

"That is something I've dreamed about forever really," he said. "It's been a really long journey back from 2022. I'm just over the moon to be here today like this.

"I've been working so hard for this moment. The 2.27 really makes me believe that I'm back to where I've been before, so I'm really excited for the future."
