The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, David Matta crossed the line in 1:14:54: 39th of 177 men, faster than 78% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 56th of 177. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:21 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
