The 2026 National Athletics Championships were held as scheduled in Rizhao, Shandong.

Today's track events included the men's 10,000m, women's 5000m, and the finals of the mixed 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m. There were dominant front-runners, sprint finish battles, and the speed and thrills of the short relays.

There were also men's and women's 100m, 400m and 1500m heats, plus heats for the 110m hurdles and 100m hurdles; the men's and women's 100m semifinals as well — all leaving plenty of suspense for the podium battles over the next two days.

In the field, the men's long jump, shot put and javelin were decided; the women's triple jump, shot put, pole vault and discus also produced winners.
