The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for William Matthews at Barcelona 2026: 1:07:55, 114th of 1,158 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 96% of the field beaten on the stations, against 76% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:48 on the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:44, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 1:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
