Summer Series Birmingham Athletics Grand Prix - 24th August 2014

Today I went to watch the athletics at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham.  We were very lucky and won the tickets from Sainsbury's.  We saw lots of famous athletes.

Here's our tickets and programme.

On the way to our seats.

Look at that big TV.

Here's our view.

I was so excited.

I hope I get to be on the BBC.

Pole vault was my favourite, it was so funny!

Look at the pole bending.

Can you see Christine Ohuruogu in the 400m?

David Rudisha (in black) in the 600m.

David winning easily.

There were events going on in all directions. 

100m they were so fast out off the blocks.

Lynsey Sharp in the 800m.

Eilidh Child in the 400m Hurdles.  One athlete hit the hurdle and fell over right in front of us.

Here's the 200m about to start.  We had to be very quiet whilst the race started so the athletes could hear the starting gun.

The Steeplechase.  I loved it when they splashed through the water on the bend.

Can you see Greg Rutherford, getting ready for the long jump?

Watching the field events.

Go Mo Farah!

We watched some of the IPC Athletics too.  There was some amazing people.  Just below us blind athletes were completing in the long jump.  A guide was telling them when to run and when to jump.

I had a really fun day.
