The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Ballard finished 443rd of 958 men in the Open division at EMEA London Olympia 2026, in 1:11:37, faster than 54% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 0:44 quicker than the median and 325th of 958. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:48 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:09 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both EMEA London Olympia 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
