Athletics action may have been at a premium during 2020, but that hasn’t stopped Welsh athletes producing some outstanding performances.

In order the celebrate their achievements during this strangest of all years, Welsh Athletics has introduced a new award – performance of the year.

The sport’s governing body has chosen 10 outstanding performances by Welsh athletes over the past 12 months and is asking for athletics fans to vote for their favourite.

The nominations are:

To have your say, go to the Welsh Athletics website and vote for your favourite before Friday, December 5.

The performance of the year prize is just one part of Welsh Athletics’ Annual Awards, which will take on a slightly different format this year due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
