The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at London Olympia 2026, George Whelan crossed the line in 1:03:23: 56th of 445 men, faster than 87% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:16 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:28 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:50, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
