List of British champions in discus throw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British discus athletics champions covers three competitions; the current British Athletics Championships which was founded in 2007,[1] the preceding AAA Championships (1914-2006) and the UK Athletics Championships which existed from 1977 until 1997 and ran concurrently with the AAA Championships.[2]

Where an international athlete won the AAA Championships the highest ranking UK athlete is considered the National Champion in this list.
