The first day of competition was noted for the close race between Hagos Gebrhiwet and future Olympic gold medalist Jakob Ingebrigtsen, as well as the unexpected fall of Nijel Amos in the men's 800 m.[1]

The final day was noted for Catriona Bisset's Australian record in the 800 m and Ingebrigtsen's loss again, this time in the 1500 m to Samuel Tefera.[2]
