The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:23:21 at Sydney 2026 put John Thompson 415th of 556 men in the Pro division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:35. The race faded late: the second half went 4:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Brisbane 2025 were 3:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
