Mills wins 3,000m indoor title with championship record

At the Birmingham British Indoor Athletics Championships, George Mills broke a championship record by winning the men’s 3, 000m.

In a span of seven minutes and forty seconds, Mills came out on top of James West in 0.17 seconds.

The 25-year-old was watched by his father, former England footballer Danny Mills, as he broke the previous championship record by almost 10 seconds.

His performance has qualified him for the European Indoor Championships.

According to Mills, “I came here to do a job,” which was to first of all, qualify for the European Indoor Championships, and then, of course, to win,” in addition. “Delighted to do that.

” When I go to races now in these championships, I’m going to win medals, so that’s what I’m aiming to do.

“I really give everything to this sport,” said one participant. “I just want to be the best athlete I can be.”

In the women’s 3, 000m, Hannah Nuttall earned victory ahead of Laura Muir, who was second.

After overtaking her late in the game, Nuttall finished in 8:49.49, beating Muir by more than half a second.

Both will also feature at the European Indoor Championships.

“I did believe I could win the race if I had my best race possible today,” Nuttall said. “To actually execute it and do it is another thing.

I had another gear and when I passed her, she didn’t have anything left. I thought I’ll just follow her.

The nerves have been off the scale in recent days.

Elsewhere, 17-year-old Otis Poole won with a best jump of 2.20m despite only receiving an invitation to compete earlier that day. Prior to this, Powell had a personal best jump of 2.09 meters.

And Scot Neil Gourley triumphed in the men’s 1500m, setting a championship record of 3: 38.84. Georgia Hunter Bell won the women’s event in 4: 13.23.
