The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:00 at London Olympia 2026 put Russell Pountney 343rd of 445 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:48. A harder second half: 3:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:23 faster at London Olympia 2026 than at London Excel 2025, a quicker course than most.
