The Australian Athletics Championships or Australian Open Track and Field Championships are held annually to determine Australia's champion athletes in a range of athletics events. The championships are the primary qualification trial for athletes wishing to compete at the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games or World Championships.[1] The event is conducted by Athletics Australia.[2] Athletes from other countries such as New Zealand and the USA have competed in and won events.
A New Zealand team continued to compete in this event until the 1927/28 event. At the next championships in 1929/30, women's events were included for the first time.
In 1933, the women began conducting their own championships, with a wider range of events. Except for occasional combined championships in 1936, 1972 and 1976, the separation of men's and women's championships continued until the 1977/78 event.[3]
Championship events
The full range of Olympic events is not usually conducted at the national championships. For example, during the 2007/08 season the following championship events were held separately:
Men's and Women's 10,000 metres – Zatopek Classic – 13 December 2007[4]
The most successful athletes at the Championships have been throwers Gael Martin and Warwick Selvey who won 20 and 19 championships events, respectively.[9]
