The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at EMEA London Olympia 2026, William Pickering crossed the line in 1:09:46: 397th of 958 men, faster than 59% of the field.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:30. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both EMEA London Olympia 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
