Coverage from the third and final day of the National Championships from the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. With the Olympics now less than a month away, the meeting is also doubling as the trials for the British team. Among the events on the schedule are the men's and women's 200m and the men's 1500m, an event in which Britain has a great Olympic history with the likes of Sebastian Coe, Steve Ovett, Steve Cram and Peter Elliott all winning medals. This year has seen the emergence of another potential middle-distance hero in Andy Baddeley, who broke the 3:50 barrier in winning the Dream Mile in Oslo in June, and who has his eyes fixed on 1500m glory in Beijing. Commentary comes from Steve Cram, Paul Dickenson and Jonathan Edwards.
