The men's and women's racewalking events were dropped from the programme for this edition.
It was the sixteenth edition of the competition limited to British athletes only, launched as an alternative to the AAA Championships, which was open to foreign competitors.
Linford Christie (100 m) and Paul Edwards (shot put) made it three consecutive wins.
Liz McColgan repeated her victory in the 3000 m. Marcus Adam, the 200 m winner, was the only champion to reach the podium in two events, having also finished third in the 100 m.[1] The main international track and field competition for the United Kingdom that year was the Olympic Games.
Akabusi and the top three in the UK 400 m (Roger Black, Mark Richardson and David Grindley) all shared in a relay Olympic bronze, as did UK women's champions Phylis Smith and Sandra Douglas.
