Progress against the field
From London 2022 to Birmingham 2026, the field gained 21:53 on Nigel Roache.
Over the same races everyone got 11:46 quicker, so 10:07 slower on the clock looks better than it was.
741 days between London 2022 and London 2024 is the longest gap compared here, and the second race was 32:08 behind the field.
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.
