The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Nicholls finished 838th of 958 men in the Open division at EMEA London Olympia 2026, in 1:30:45.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:41. A harder second half: 12:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
EMEA London Olympia ran fast: the 734 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:07 quicker here than at their other races.
