World Indoor Tour Final at the Utilita Arena on Saturday could see some historic performances as many of the worlds best athletes gather
Laura Muir, Keely Hodgkinson and Gudaf Tsegay have records in their sights at the World Indoor Tour Final in Birmingham on Saturday (Feb 25).
Muir has Maria Mutolas long-standing world 1000m record as a target, while Hodgkinson will be looking to revise her own UK record figures at 800m. In the 3000m, world indoor 1500m record-holder Gudaf Tsegay attacks Genzebe Dibabas 3000m mark.
A number of world-class international stars will descend on the Utilita Arena for the event such as world champions Shericka Jackson and Grant Holloway. For many of the domestic athletes, though, it will offer the final competitive opportunity before the European Indoor Championships starts in Istanbul on March 2.

Records aside, one of the most anticipated events on the programme is the womens 60m with Jackson plus Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita. And, who knows, maybe the UK record will fall again.
A capacity crowd will be there to watch the action unfold with live coverage on BBC iPlayer, website and red button. Keep an eye on the AW social media channels as well for live updates and behind-the-scenes news.

Fresh from his impressive 3000m win at the Millrose Games, Josh Kerr travels from the US to tackle the 1500m here.

Laura Muir holds the UK record with 2:31.93 but she would dearly love to break Maria Mutolas long-standing world record of 2:30.94. In-form Katie Snowden will be looking to make an impact on the UK all-time rankings too.
15:48 Womens 800m
How fast can Keely Hodgkinson run on this new track in Birmingham? Her own UK record is 1:57.20 and she looks in superb shape lately that she might even get close to Jolanda Ceplaks world record of 1:55.82 if things go well.
Issy Boffey and Ellie Baker the UK indoor champions last weekend in 800m and 1500m respectively are also in the field, plus in-form Benin athlete Noelie Yarigo.
