With the World Athletics Championships wrapped up, all eyes turn to the Commonwealth Games and the World Athletics U20 Championships, which will kick off over the next week. 

Six South Australians will compete in England and Colombia respectively, while several other locals have performed on the big stage in recent weeks. 

Thomas Mattinson won two Gold Medals at the CPISRA International Cup in Denmark earlier this month, while Sarah Chinner and Michael Cassidy represented Australia at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Finland.

Isaac Heyne is currently on Tour in the UK as part of an Australian U23 team, and Hills Districts Athletics Club teammate Matthew Clarke placed at the Sydney Harbour 10km over the weekend.

Western Athletics Club Frame Runner Mattinson won Gold in the U14 RR2 100m and 400m at the Cup in Copenhagen, running 25.71 and a PB 1:56.78 respectively. 

Chinner won Gold in the W55 4X400m Relay alongside Australian teammates Philippa Wright, Michele Hossack and Julie Brims, who clocked 4:35.16, ahead of team Great Britain and Northern Island, and Germany. 

Chinner - who had a busy schedule - also made the final of the W60 1500m, 800m and 400m, and competed in the 4X100m Relay, while Cassidy ran the M60 200m at the event which was held in Tampere, Finland.

In his debut race on UK soil, Heyne won a 5000m at the England Athletics U20 & U23 World Junior Trials in Bedford, running 14:25.34.

Heyne followed up with a 3:45.76 in the AAI Games in Ireland to finish third overall.
