This website was built purely for personal, non-commercial interest in athletics statistics - it is not run as a business and nothing on it is for sale or syndication. It contains various pages that use either data from World Athletics or UK specific athletics data from Powerof10.

| Performances over time | Showing performance trends at major championships over time. |
Field Events Analysis | |
| Field Events Analysis - Homepage | Twelve analyses of British field-event decline, athlete development pathways, and how UK Athletics selects for major championships, using World Athletics data and published governing-body documents. |
| 1. Entrants and medals by country | Compares, by country group and by four-year period since 2000, what share of a country's entrants at European Championships and Olympic/World Championships went on to win a medal. |
| 2. Track vs field split of entrants and medals | Compares, by country group and by four-year period since 2000, what share of a country's entrants and medals at senior and U20 European and Olympic/World Championships came from field events (jumps, throws and the combined events) versus track events. |
| 3. Beijing 2027: what the Category C rule means for a UK pathway | World Athletics now requires Beijing 2027 entry-standard marks to be set at a Category C competition or better - the same entry-standard route UK Athletics' own selection design prioritises. This page measures how few such meets the UK hosts, and what that means for UK athletes, European visitors, and the sport's visibility at home. |
| 4. Ages of medallists (all events) | Compares the age at which athletes win medals (places 1-3) at senior Area championships against the Olympics/World Championships, field events vs track, and by gender and by event. |
| 5. Major champs before first global medal (all events) | Shows the average number of senior championships - area (African, Asian, European, NACAC, Oceania, South American), Olympic or World - an athlete competed in before winning their first Olympic/World medal, field events vs track, and by event. |
| 6. Performance funnel (javelin) | How javelin throwers progress from qualifying through to medal-winning performances at Olympic, World, and European Championships. |
| 7. How predictable is the qualifying mark, event by event? | Compares, across 26 years of European and Olympic/World Championships, how much the mark it took to reach a final has varied year to year - event by event, from sprints to throws. |
| 8. Predicting the qualifying mark (javelin) | Tests three methods for predicting the qualifying mark at European Championships javelin finals against ten editions of actual results. |
| 9. Selection Policy Comparison | Comparison of national athletics federations' selection policies: if an athlete holds a valid Road to Birmingham Qualifying Position, can the federation still leave them out - and what has to be true for that to actually happen? |
| 10. Selection and appeals: what the published documents allow | Reads UK Athletics' published Selection Policy alongside its published Fast Appeals Procedure to identify where the two documents don't fit together, and tests that against UKA's own published rationale for the policy - all sourced to public documents, cited and linked throughout. |
| 11. Athlete voice in selection policy | Compares what the Code for Sports Governance requires of UK Athletics on athlete engagement with what UKA and other federations actually publish about athlete involvement in selection policy and appeals. |
| 12. Has UK Athletics' selection policy change affected field events? | Tests whether UK Athletics' selection-policy tightening since 2023 has affected GB & NI's field-event results and athlete pipeline, against what critics, coaches and UKA itself have said, and against Europe as a whole as a baseline. |
