Progress against the field
From London 2023 to Birmingham 2026, Darryl Still has moved with the field: what changed on the clock changed for everyone.
The clock says 14:24 faster, but the races themselves got 14:31 quicker for everyone.
The biggest step was London 2023 → Birmingham 2024: 9:20 on the field in 334 days.
How this is worked out ⓘ
A finish time moves for two reasons: the athlete, and the race — its course, its floor, its day. For each pair of races in a row in one category, we take everyone who raced both and use the middle of how much they moved (the median) as "the race". Whatever is left is the athlete. Doubles are compared only when the same two people raced both, and told as the pair's; relays are left out. A pair with fewer than 15 athletes in common is not shown.
