Hall won three of the five events, the long jump, javelin and discus. He was runner up in the 200m and 1,500m.

Hall began the day with a 5.79m long jump and consolidated his good start with a 49.41m javelin throw, his best for a couple of years

A decent lead was cut after he finished 2nd in the 200m in a time of 25.18. The next event was the discus where a throw of 34.66m pretty much confirmed his win.

Despite being well beaten in the 1,500m, which he completed in a time of 5:33.23, Hall finished a convincing competition winner.
