George Mills made headlines at the British Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham with a stunning performance in the men's 3,000m. Mills not only secured victory but also shattered the championship record, finishing in 7:40.16, nearly 10 seconds faster than the previous best. His father, former England footballer Danny Mills, was in attendance to witness this remarkable achievement.

Mills' triumph has earned him a spot at the European Indoor Championships, where he aims to continue his winning streak. "I came here to do a job - that was to first of all qualify for the European Indoor Championships and put my name in the hat again for Worlds and, obviously, to win," Mills told BBC Sport. "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."

In the women's 3,000m, Hannah Nuttall secured a thrilling victory over Laura Muir, finishing in 8:49.49. Nuttall managed to overtake Muir in the final stretch, showcasing her determination and skill. "I did think today I could potentially come out with the win if I had my best possible race, but to actually execute it and do it is another thing," Nuttall said.

Other notable performances included 17-year-old Otis Poole, who won the high jump with a massive personal best of 2.20m, and Neil Gourley, who set a championship record in the men's 1500m with a time of 3:38.84.

The European Indoor Championships are set to take place in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, from 6 to 9 March, where these athletes will look to continue their impressive form.
