The Street Athletics Festival takes place later this afternoon in the Christchurch Casino cark park with Olympic pole vault bronze medalist Eliza McCartney and world shot put champ Tom Walsh the headline acts.
Athletics New Zealand's High Performance Coach Manager Scott Newman says McCartney has started the year strongly.
He says she has a few niggles at the moment, but she vaulted 4 metres 85 in Hastings at the end of January, and that is still the world's best so far this year.
