The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lewis Balcombe finished in the top 10% of the field at London Olympia 2026, in 1:07:34 for 40th of 642 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:48 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:12, was faster than 95% of the field.
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.
