The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joe Yaxley took 2nd of 18 in the 25–29 age group at London Olympia 2026, in 1:09:54.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:57 quicker than the median and 2nd of 177. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:23 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:25, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London 2024 were 5:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
