The 2020 German Athletics Championships was the 120th edition of the national championship in outdoor track and field for Germany. It was held on 8 and 9 August at the Eintracht-Stadion in Braunschweig. It was due to serve as the selection meeting for Germany at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 European Athletics Championships, which were both postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The national athletics championship had been due to be held at the same time fifteen other national championship events as part of Die Finals 2020.[1][2][3]

The track and field events were originally scheduled for 6 and 7 June, but were delayed due to restrictions in relation to the pandemic. The pole vault was originally scheduled for 4 June in a separate event in the city centre, but was also postponed until August and was ultimately held within the stadium. A total of 477 athletes competed across 34 events. The only other national championships to go ahead that year were the German Cross Country Championships (which preceded the pandemic restrictions) and the combined track and field events, which were held without an audience.

The interruption to track and field training and competition that year resulted in the absence of several prominent athletes and lower standards of performance at the event.

## Championships

[edit]

As usual, due to time or organizational reasons, various competitions were not held as part of the main event in Braunschweig. An independent German Relay Championships was scheduled with a full event programme for the first time, but that (like many other competitions) was abandoned.[4][5]
